Ecological succession, hydrology and carbon acquisition of biological soil crusts measured at the micro-scale.
The hydrological characteristics of biological soil crusts (BSCs) are not well understood. In particular the relationship between runoff and BSC surfaces at relatively large (>1 m(2)) scales is ambiguous. Further, there is a dearth of information on small scale (mm to cm) hydrological characteriz...
