    Definition soil-forming process for Cryosols driven by soil water as it migrates towards the frozen front along the thermal gradient (from warm to cold) in the system that causes the separation of coarse soil materials from fine materials and takes place at both the macro- and micro-scale Reference "COM-Terminology Coordination, based on: Paul Driessen, Jozef Deckers (Ed). LECTURE NOTES ON THE MAJOR SOILS OF THE WORLD > 'Set #10 Mineral Soils conditioned by Permafrost CRYOSOLS (CR)' (28.3.2024). FAO 2001"
