👉 Scalebark is a term used in the context of environmental science and engineering to describe a type of soil that is highly permeable, allowing water and air to pass through it easily. It is often described as a "scale" because its characteristics are similar to those of sand or loam, but it has higher permeability than these materials. Scalebarks have been found in various environments such as wetlands and lakes, where they serve as important habitats for aquatic plants and animals.
