Cultivating Resilience in Dryland Soils: An Assisted Migration Approach to Biological Soil Crust Restoration

Cultivating Resilience in Dryland Soils: An Assisted Migration Approach to Biological Soil Crust Restoration

Land use practices and climate change have driven substantial soil degradation across global drylands, impacting ecosystem functions and human livelihoods. Biological soil crusts, a common feature of dryland ecosystems, are under extensive exploration for their potential to restore the stability and...
