Nutrient availability and acid erosion determine the early colonization of limestone by lithobiontic microorganisms
IntroductionMicroorganisms, including the pioneer microorganisms that play a role in the early colonization of rock, are extremely important biological factors in rock deterioration. The interaction of microorganisms with limestone leads to biodeterioration, accelerates soil formation, and plays an...
