Composition and Macrostructure of Biological Soil Crustsions of them have significant influence on the macrostructure of a biocrust. Second, physical parameters, such as climate, and physical and chemical soil properties impact biocrust macrostructure. In this chapter, the difference between abiotic and biotic surface crusting and influences on biocrust

Remote Sensing of Biological Soil Crusts at Different Scaleses, a universal method to map and monitor their distribution patterns would be extremely helpful to analyze their relevance and the impact of global change across spatial scales..Moving toward this goal, spectral analyses of biocrusts revealed few characteristics, which are universally present, as t

Patterns and Controls on Nitrogen Cycling of Biological Soil Crustsudies across a wide range of biomes clearly confirm that not only the presence of biocrusts but biocrust community composition strongly influences N-fixation activity, with N fixation increasing with level of development (cyanobacterial-lichen biocrusts > dark cyanobacterial biocrust (e.g., . spp. a

Carbon Budgets of Biological Soil Crusts at Micro-, Meso-, and Global Scaless of biocrusts to the global biogeochemical cycles have only recently been considered. While these studies opened a new view on the global role of biocrusts, they also clearly revealed the lack of data for many habitats and of overall standards for measurements and analysis. In order to understand c

Biological Soil Crusts as Soil Stabilizerssive forces of wind and water. Thus, most of these soil surfaces are stabilized by physical or biological soil crusts. However, as drylands are extensively used by humans and their animals, these crusts are often disturbed, compromising their stabilizing abilities. As a result, approximately 17.5 %
