Influence of Disturbance on Soil Respiration in Biologically Crusted Soil during the Dry Season

Influence of Disturbance on Soil Respiration in Biologically Crusted Soil during the Dry Season

Soil respiration (Rs) is a major pathway for carbon cycling and is a complex process involving abiotic and biotic factors. Biological soil crusts (BSCs) are a key biotic component of desert ecosystems worldwide. In desert ecosystems, soils are protected from surface disturbance by BSCs, but it is un...
