Storage at room temperature is a cost-effective and practical preservation method for dry biocrust microbial communities Open
Microbial communities within biocrusts fulfill important ecological functions, particularly in dryland environments. Identifying the optimal conditions for transporting and storing biocrusts is essential to preserve and accurately analyze …

Editorial: Biological soil crusts: spatio-temporal development and ecological functions of soil surface microbial communities across different scales Open
Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are widely distributed throughout the world and cover ∼12% of the terrestrial surface (Rodriguez-Caballero et al., 2018). Composed of a diverse range of cyanobacteria, algae, lichens, mosses, and heterotr…

Potential mechanisms of soil nitrogen content heterogeneity associated with biocrust development in drylands Open
Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are complex communities of micro‐ and macro‐organisms dwelling at the soil surface in dryland regions worldwide, which contribute to important ecological functions in these areas. Biocrusts may reach diff…

Physical Disturbance Reduces Cyanobacterial Relative Abundance and Substrate Metabolism Potential of Biological Soil Crusts on a Gold Mine Tailing of Central China Open
As the critical ecological engineers, biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are considered to play essential roles in improving substrate conditions during ecological rehabilitation processes. Physical disturbance, however, often leads to the…

Soil biocrusts affect metabolic response to hydration on dunes in west Queensland, Australia Open
Soil biocrusts, formed from communities of microbes and their extracellular products are a common feature of dryland soil surfaces. Biocrust organisms are only intermittently metabolically active, but due to their ubiquity they make a sign…

Changes In Soil Properties Across A Hydrological Gradient In Saladas From Northeast Spain: Implications For Soil Carbon Stocks, CO2 Efflux And Microbial Communities In A Warming World. Open
Numerous permanent and temporary wetlands occur throughout the world’s drylands. Although characterised by diverse hydroperiods, these wetlands in drylands are typically hotspots of biological activity and productivity. The healthy functio…

Metagenomic Insight Into Patterns and Mechanism of Nitrogen Cycle During Biocrust Succession Open
The successional ecology of nitrogen cycling in biocrusts and the linkages to ecosystem processes remains unclear. To explore this, four successional stages of natural biocrust with five batches of repeated sampling and three developmental…

Photosynthetic recovery and acclimation to excess light intensity in the rehydrated lichen soil crusts Open
As an important successional stage and main type of biological soil crusts (BSCs) in Shapotou region of China (southeastern edge of Tengger Desert), lichen soil crusts (LSCs) often suffer from many stresses, such as desiccation and excess …
