Contrasting effects of agroecosystem biocrusts on seedling growth and nitrogen accumulation in a greenhouse environment
Abstract Biological soil crust (biocrust) communities of bacteria, fungi, lichen, algae, and bryophytes were recently shown to release nitrogen (N) to the crop root zone in agroecosystems. While biocrusts in semi‐arid and dryland ecosystems have neutral, negative, and facilitative effects on plants,...
