Towards the mechanical stability of biocrusts in drylands: Insights from inorganic ions and organic compounds and their interactions
Biocrusts are an important component of dryland ecosystems as they perform crucial ecological functions like stabilizing soils, mediating the hydrological cycle, and improving nutrient availability. The high mechanical stability of biocrusts is understood to be linked to exopolymeric substances (EPS...
