• Soil nematode communities are ecologically more mature beneath late- than early-successional stage biological soil crusts (2007, background): “Summer temperatures are greater at the New Mexico than Utah site, and 65% of the precipitation in Utah occurs in winter while 65% of the precipitation in New Mexico occurs during summer (Rosentreter and Belnap, 2001).”
• Production of greenhouse‐grown biocrust mosses and associated cyanobacteria to rehabilitate dryland soil function (2016, methodology): “In a rehabilitation context, methods for culturing moss might be highly valuable in dryland ecosystems such as cold deserts and steppes, where they have the potential to dominate the soil surface and exert a strong influence on soil surface properties (Rosentreter & Belnap 2001; Hilty et al. 2004).”
• Germination and seed water status of four grasses on moss-dominated biological soil crusts from arid lands (2006, background): “In the northern portion of the Great Basin, common components of biological soil crusts are desiccation tolerant mosses (Rosentreter and Belnap 2001; Hilty et al. 2004).”
• Small-scale patterns of abundance of mosses and lichens forming biological soil crusts in two semi-arid gypsum environments (2006, background): “…in arid and semi-arid areas have been conducted in the US (Kleiner and Harper 1977; Nash et al. 1977; Anderson et al. 1982a; Johansen 1993; Rosentreter and Belnap 2001) and Australia (Rogers and Lange 1971; Rogers 1972b; Downing and Selkirk 1993; Eldridge and Tozer 1997; Eldridge and Koen…”
• Germination and seedling establishment of two annual grasses on lichen-dominated biological soil crusts (2007, background): “In the northern portion of the Great Basin, various types of biological soil crusts are common including moss-dominated crusts, lichen-dominated crusts, and mixed crusts where no particular organism prevails over the surface cover (Rosentreter and Belnap 2001).”
• Recovery of biological soil crusts following wildfire in Idaho (2004, background): “On sites with low levels of livestock or recreational use, biological crusts may occupy much of the soil surface that is not covered by vascular plants or litter (Rosentreter and Belnap 2001).”
