• Moss-dominated biocrusts increase soil microbial abundance and community diversity and improve soil fertility in semi-arid climates on the Loess Plateau of China (2017, background): “…biocrusts are of very high concern owing to their significant roles in maintaining and improving soil fertility, which are crucial for the restoration of degraded lands and vegetation in arid and semi-arid climates (Abed et al., 2013; Steven et al., 2014; Zhang et al., 2014; Mueller et al., 2015).”
