Global Diversity of Desert Hypolithic Cyanobacteria

Global Diversity of Desert Hypolithic Cyanobacteria

Global patterns in diversity were estimated for cyanobacteria-dominated hypolithic communities that colonize ventral surfaces of quartz stones and are common in desert environments. A total of 64 hypolithic communities were recovered from deserts on every continent plus a tropical moisture sufficien...
