Spatial self-segregation of pioneer cyanobacterial species drives microbiome organization in biocrusts
Abstract Microbial communities are typically characterized by some degree of self-organization. In biological soil crust (biocrust) communities, vertical organization of resident populations at the mm scale is driven by organismal adaptations to physicochemical microniches. However, the extent of ho...
