Rapid recovery of cyanobacterial pigments in desiccated biological soil crusts following addition of water.

Rapid recovery of cyanobacterial pigments in desiccated biological soil crusts following addition of water.

We examined soil surface colour change to green and hydrotaxis following addition of water to biological soil crusts using pigment extraction, hyperspectral imaging, microsensors and 13C labeling experiments coupled to matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization time of flight-mass spectrometry...
