Well buddy…plants infers that they are there for several years, possibly a perennial without tilling, thus making the soil more compacted and generally resulting in more crusting of the soil.
Crops infers that they are annual crops that are usually tilled (depends on location though), thus making the soil less compacted and having less issues with crusting. That's why it makes a difference. Again, this is nothing difficult, but it sure is true.
As far as what my knowledge of crops tells me about soils…well, I got a well-rounded education. So in order to grow crops well, you have to know about soil, and to know about soil, you have to know about the crust. Also, different crops will impact soil in different ways, based off of root systems, how much water they need, etc etc.
This is just basic stuff, so I'm surprised somebody with their masters wouldn't know that. Actually…I'm not too surprised. Most people with their masters in a field where they don't use it for any practical reason show a typical lack of knowledge outside of a school book.
Oh, and as for your other post, I've never shoveled **** in my life. That's what we hire your cousins for.

so basically you think your knowledge of "crust" means you know something about the cryptobiotic soil crusts native to the western desert? This is what your post implies. And, you'd be so ****ing wrong it's hilarious.
BTW, I spent 4 years on an 50 acre organic farm in southern california (which was producing year round). A few years before that I was wwoofing in New Zealand and Australia. So, yeah, if you wanna have a conversation related to my original point, I'm still waiting. If you want to tell me how any of the **** you just typed has anything to do with what I said, then you can feel free to get specific, cuz I'll know what you're talking about.
recap:
the "crusts" you talk about in the quoted text have absolutely zero relationship to the cryptobiotic crusts I've talked about.

Well originally I was just trying to pester you, which apparently worked.
Then you asked how the distinction between crops and plants made a difference on crusts…which I found shocking, since apparently you studied crusts. That one I actually responded seriously to.
Also, it's pretty cute you worked on a tiny little hobby farm. 50 acres sure is a lot!
So here's a serious question: exactly what does one do with a masters in soil crust or whatever the hell you studied? I can't imagine there's a lot of job opportunity with that, or at least well-paying jobs.

Did the dirt crunch as you drove over it? Just curio
And puffed into dust. I know right.

my Master's in math (emphasis on biological systems, specifically cryptobiotic crusts) and my PhD in political anthropology just nailed down a six-figure salary.
I was never talking about the type of crusts that you assumed I was. I was always talking about cryptobiotic crust and I wrote it by name. We drifted on to your "crust" because you (shockingly!) made a poor assumption, then started being an ******* with that assumption. (Really shocking!)
I mentioned 50 acres not because it was big. I was being transparent. But year-round cultivation kinda doubles the size... and 100 acres of organic farming is no small lot. But whatever. Shake your dick if you need to.
Oh, and cryptobiotic soil crust is unquestionably the most important component of the desert ecosystem, since it fixes nitrogen in the soil for other plants.... definitely worth investing some time and knowledge in...

I answered his question. You're a moderator; you're supposed to be able to string at least two posts together.

Where did I say that I'm currently analyzing dirt? I didn't. And I'm not. I did. (That's past-tense). Ok then! Questions?

But there are people who get paid six figures to analyze dirt. And all of them that I ever met deserved their income.
But I suppose you just needed another outlet to bitch against a political order of some sort. Grats on finding it.
