Proposed Relationships Between Climate, Biological Soil Crusts, Human Health, and in Arid Ecosystems
Abstract Biological soil crusts (or biocrust) are diminutive soil communities with ecological functions disproportionate to their size. These communities are composed of lichens, bryophytes, cyanobacteria, fungi, liverworts, and other microorganisms. Creating stabilizing matrices, these microorganis...
