Biological Soil Crusts: An Organizing Principle in Drylands

Allgemeine Untersuchungsmethodene. In the 1970s, research on these communities as ecological units that played an important functional role in drylands began in earnest, and these studies have continued to this day. Here, we trace the history of these studies from the distant past until 1990, when biocrusts became well-known to sc

This evidence suggests that microbial life was abundant on the land since the Archean, and that such communities could have been quite complex in structure and functioning. The advancement on this knowledge is essen

Primary colonists such as cyanobacteria and fungi typically facilitate establishment, and bryophytes often occur in the later stages of crust development. Ecologically, biocrust bryophytes provide habitats for other crust community

Biocrust microfauna are susceptible to the same surface disturbances that affect biocrust microflora, such as physical trampling or altered temperature and summer precipitation, but the specific ecosystem consequences
