DOI: 10.1007/s00248-024-02453-5
Abstract: Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) play pivotal ecological roles in regulating nitrogen cycling within desert ecosystems. While acknowledging the essential role played by ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms in nitrogen transformation, there remains a paucity of understanding concerning how… read more here.
