• Stream Biofilm Responses to Flow Intermittency: From Cells to Ecosystems (2016, background): “As an example, dry biofilm on cobbles may confer protection to the cells that remain beneath (Figures 3A,B), resembling the biological soil crusts in arid regions (Belnap and Lange, 2003).”
• Hydrolase enzyme activities in a successional gradient of biological soil crusts in arid and semi-arid zones (2012, unknown): “These organisms constitute complex communities that penetrate the upper millimetres of the geological substrate, forming thin biological soil crusts (BSCs) (Belnap and Lange, 2003).”
