Differences in the Cyanobacterial Community Composition of Biocrusts From the Drylands of Central Mexico. Are There Endemic Species?

In drylands worldwide, biocrusts, topsoil microbial communities, are prevalent, contributing to the biostabilization of soils and allowing the subsequent establishment and growth of vascular plants. In early successional biocrusts, cyanobacteria are the first dominant colonizers of bare ground, larg...
