Assessing the influence of surface roughness on the epilithic colonisation of limestones by non-contact techniques

The importance of stone colonisation by microorganisms has led to an extensive literature on mechanisms and rates of physicochemical degradation of stone surface, both in laboratory and field contexts. Biological colonisation of a stone surface depends on intrinsic stone parameters like mineral comp...
