Significant Impacts of Increasing Aridity on the Arid Soil Microbiome

Significant Impacts of Increasing Aridity on the Arid Soil Microbiome

ABSTRACT Global deserts occupy one-third of the Earth’s surface and contribute significantly to organic carbon storage, a process at risk in dryland ecosystems that are highly vulnerable to climate-driven ecosystem degradation. The forces controlling desert ecosystem degradation rates are poorly und...
