- Biological soil crusts greatly contribute to small-scale soil heterogeneity along a grazing gradient (2013, result): “This did not concur in a previous study showing similar soil pH values under a moss crust compared to physical crust in a sand dune ecosystem (Guo et al., 2008), which suggests this effect may be context dependent or simply a variation related to the involved mosses.”
- Biological soil crust and disturbance controls on surface hydrology in a semi-arid ecosystem (2017, background): “Yet, it has also been found that with increasing biocrust succession, an increased porosity and decreasing bulk density occurred across different soil types (Guo et al. 2008, Zaady and Offer 2010, Miralles-Mellado et al. 2011, Lan et al. 2012, Felde et al. 2014).”
- Fungal communities of lichen-dominated biological soil crusts: Diversity, relative microbial biomass, and their relationship to disturbance and crust cover (2010, background): “The critical function of stabilizing arid land soils against erosion has generally been relegated to BSCs (Belnap and Gillette, 1998; Guo et al., 2008).”
- Development of the polysaccharidic matrix in biocrusts induced by a cyanobacterium inoculated in sand microcosms (2017, background): “These positive effects are not only limited to the biocrust thickness but also extends to the subcrust (Guo et al. 2008).”
- Microbial Extracellular Polymeric Substances: Ecological Function and Impact on Soil Aggregation (2018, background): “Characteristics such as stress tolerance, drought resistance, and oligotrophy make them optimal candidates, and their EPS improves soil stability and moisture content at the topsoil, stimulating soil biological activity (Guo et al., 2007).”
