The process of exposing something to air or converting it into air or gas; the act of making something airy.
From Latin aer (air) plus -fication (making or becoming), parallel to aerifaction. Commonly used in soil science and water treatment.
In soil science, aerification means punching holes in your lawn to let air reach the roots—it's why golf courses have fancy spiked machines. Better soil aerification means healthier, deeper-rooted plants that resist drought.
