Moss patch size as a factor profoundly influencing soil nutrient characteristics and multifunctionality of temperate desert in Central Asia
Soil nutrients in desert ecosystems are influenced by various factors, and the presence of moss crust cover plays a significant role in determining the nutritional content of the surface soil. Moss crusts are distributed as patches within desert ecosystems, creating micro-ecosystems. However, the di...
