In Liu et al. the paper focuses on describing the scattering function of a sample that was collected from the Chinese Loess Platea and subsequently milled to change the physical properties of the particles.The major conclusion gleaned by the authors in the article is that the size of the particles affects the scattering properties.The paper does describe well the need for the research being performed on complex systems, but systematic experiments need to be performed to start to tease out some of that information instead of broad statements about size since that is what they were trying to control.The authors mention that the size distribution is the major factor, but refractive C1
