• Micro‐geomorphology determines community structure of biological soil crusts at small scales (2010, unknown): “, 2005), soil pH (Ponzetti and McCune, 2001), other soil physicochemical properties (Kleiner and Harper, 1977; Greene and Darnall, 1990) and the cover of vascular plants (Belnap and Lange, 2003; Li et al., 2005).”
• Biological soil crusts and their microenvironment: Impact on emergence, survival and establishment of seedlings (2009, background): “Li et al. (2005) revealed that intact crusts were less favourable for seed entrapment and storage than pure sand.”
• Germination and seedling establishment of two annual grasses on lichen-dominated biological soil crusts (2007, background): “The dimensions of the seeds combined with the morphological characteristics of the crust may partially determine whether the crust has microsites suitable for germination (Li et al. 2005).”
