Dew formation on the surface of biological soil crusts in central European sand ecosystems
Dew formation was investigated in three developmental stages of biological soil crusts (BSC), which were collected along a catena of an inland dune and in the initial substrate. The Penman equation, which was developed for saturated surfaces, was modified for unsaturated surfaces and used for prediction of dewfall rates. The levels of surface saturation required for this approach were predicted...
متن کاملEffect of lichen biological soil crusts on soil properties derived from early Holocene sandy sediments
Introduction: Biological soil crusts are a community of cyanobacteria, fungi, lichens, and mosses and play key roles in arid and semi-arid regions including carbon and nitrogen accumulation, soil fertility, dust capture, soil conservation and stability. Recent studies show that the formation of biological soil crusts on mobile dunes areas is extremely difficult due to low vegetation cover, st...
متن کاملSpecies composition, distribution patterns and ecological functions of biological soil crusts in the Gurbantunggut Desert
As one of the most important biological factors that maintain the stability of the largest fixed and semi-fixed desert in China, the Gurbantunggut Desert, the biological soil crusts (BSCs) develop well and play critical ecological roles in the desert ecosystem. In this paper, we briefly summarize our research findings since 2002 including species composition, distribution pattern and ecological...
متن کاملBiological soil crusts promote N accumulation in response to dew events in dryland soils
Dew is an important source of water in drylands, particularly for biological soil crusts (BSCs), which are soil communities dominated by lichens, mosses and cyanobacteria that are prevalent in these environments and play important roles in nutrient cycling. While BSCs can retain and use water from dew, the effects of dew events on the cycling of nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) in BSC-dominated ecos...
متن کاملتجزیه و تحلیل مقایسه‌ای خصوصیات فیزیکوشیمیایی خاک در فرسایش‌پذیری انواع پوسته‌های بیابانی (مطالعۀ موردی: تپه‌ماهورهای حاشیۀ دریاچۀ آجی‌گل- استان گلستان)
Introduction: During the past two decades, the attention has been paid to the role of biological crusts in dry and semi-arid ecosystems. According to the roles of soil surface crusts in improving physical and chemical characteristics, and lack of sufficient information on their inherent characteristics, this research can be useful in understanding the mechanism of these crusts. Materials an...
