- Biological soil crusts and their microenvironment: Impact on emergence, survival and establishment of seedlings (2009, background): “Growth height, phytomass and N-content Alteration of soil by BSCs is correlated with an increase of some elements in phytomass (Harper and Belnap, 2001; Harper and Pendleton, 1993).”
- Carbon exchange in biological soil crust communities under differential temperatures and soil water contents: implications for global change (2010, background): “For example, later successional (dark) biocrusts can contain mosses and lichens that enhance CO2 flux and N fixation compared with early successional (light) Microcoleus cyanobacterial-only biocrusts (Belnap 2001; Evans and Lange 2001; Lange 2001).”
- Recovery of biological soil crusts following wildfire in Idaho (2004, background): “While this is lower than that observed for a Nostocdominated microbiotic crust community (Belnap 2001), the contribution of nitrogen by a continuous moss cover could be significant in nutrient-deprived environments, particularly after burning.”
- Biological soil crust development affects physicochemical characteristics of soil surface in semiarid ecosystems (2012, background): “…increase in soil C content (Rao and Burns, 1990; Rogers and Burns, 1994) and an increase in soil N of up to 200% (Rogers and Burns,1994; Harper and Belnap, 2001) due to the presence of BSCs. Malam Issa et al. (1999) found that the presence of BSCs improved surface OC over bare and litter-covered…”
