Crustivorous macro-arthropods regulate the microtopography and carbon dynamics of biological soil crusts
Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) play key roles in dryland ecosystem processes by mediating soil surface conditions. How consumption by macro-arthropods affects biocrust surface roughness and carbon cycling remains largely unknown. In two separate experiments, we addressed this knowledge gap by ex...
