Rainfall characteristics determine respiration rate of biological soil crusts in drylands

Altering precipitation regimes are of particular concern in drylands, where isolated rainfall events often drive ecosystem structure and function. This study aims to explore the effects of varying individual rainfall amount on the release of CO2 by biological soil crusts (biocrusts), which are domin...
