How cyanobacteria expand soil crusts in harsh desert environments
A new study published in The Innovation has revealed the microstructure and expansion mechanism of cyanobacteria-dominated biological soil crusts (BSCs). By employing micro-scale X-ray computed tomography (X-ray microCT), researchers led by Prof. Zhang Yuanming from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography (XIEG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences visualized the internal structural responses of cyanobacteria-dominated BSCs in unprecedented detail.
