Microbial and geo-archaeological records reveal the growth rate, origin and composition of desert rock surface communities
<p>Biological rock crusts (BRCs) are ubiquitous features of rock surfaces in drylands composed of slow-growing microbial assemblages. BRC presence is often correlated with rock weathering, soiling effect or mitigating geomorphic processes. However, their development rate is still unknown. In t...
