User:Loessperson. This page is dedicated to the promotion of interest in Loess. Loess is ground material; loess is a sediment; an airfall sediment which mantles the landscape. Loess can be talked about as a soil- in soil mechanics it is a collapsing soil; the soil structure can collapse when the loess ground is loaded and wetted, a process called hydroconsolidation occurs; dangerous subsidence may occur. In the agricultural world loess is the parent material for good & productive soil. Much of the world survives on crops grown on loess soils. Loessperson (talk) 10:18, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
