Responses of Biocrust and Associated Soil Bacteria to Novel Climates Are Not Tightly Coupled

Climate change is expanding drylands even as land use practices degrade them. Representing ∼40% of Earth’s terrestrial surface, drylands rely on biological soil crusts (biocrusts) for key ecosystem functions including soil stability, biogeochemical cycling, and water capture. Understanding how biocr...
