Cyanobacterial Potential for Restoration of Loess Surfaces through Artificially Induced Biocrusts

Cyanobacterial Potential for Restoration of Loess Surfaces through Artificially Induced Biocrusts

Loess is a highly porous and easily erosive aeolian sediment covering approximately 10% of the Earth’s surface. The weak vegetation cover and high wind speeds in many of these regions make loess sediment the main source of dust in the atmosphere. Dust particles deteriorate air quality and affect soi...
