Changes in vegetation and soil coupling induced by biocrusts: New thinking on the segmented control of soil and water loss in the Loess Plateau, China
Biocrust is widely distributed on land surfaces worldwide, it is especially important in arid and semi-arid areas with serious soil erosion; however, the impact of biocrust on vegetation soil coupling in complex topography has not been reported. This study revealed the variation of biocrust coverage...
