Hola a todos y desde ya las gracias por su ayuda.
Aquí el párrafo donde aparece el término:

Materials with low infiltration rates, weak bonds between particles and an abundance of particles that are
easily transported by water are very susceptible to erosion.
Typical materials with these properties include:
1. Materials high in silt and fine sand and having low organic matter levels
2. Self-mulching (eg. smectite) clays
3. Dispersible clay materials (usually sodic) (Hazelton et al, 2007).

Explanation:
Así lo encontré mencionado en Vertisol que es un tipo de arcilla.
En tu ejemplo dice (eg. smectite) . Buscaría por ese lado también.

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertisol

"Las expansiones y contracciones alternativas causan auto-mulching, donde el material del suelo se mezcla consistentemente entre sí, causando vertisoles con un horizonte A extremadamente profundo y sin horizonte".
