DOI: 10.1007/s10533-017-0372-3
Abstract: Carbon cycling associated with biological soil crusts, which occupy interspaces between vascular plants in drylands globally, may be an important part of the coupled climate-carbon cycle of the Earth system. A major challenge to understanding… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11104-019-04102-0
Abstract: AimsBiological soil crusts (biocrusts) dominate soil surfaces in drylands, providing services that include soil stabilization and carbon uptake. In this study, we investigated the direct and biocrust-mediated effects of anthropogenic disturbances in two dryland ecosystems.MethodsWe… read more here.

Macroaggregate persistence: Definition and applications to describe soil surface dynamics
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Geoderma"
DOI: 10.1016/j.geoderma.2021.115096
Abstract: Abstract Macroaggregates (diameter > 0.25 mm) help the soil surface to resist erosive forces, but their contribution to soil surface stability changes with time because macroaggregate formation and disintegration is a dynamic process. Surface macroaggregates can be visualized… read more here.
