Extracellular polysaccharides from cyanobacterial soil crusts and their role in dryland surface processes

Dryland ecosystems contain small amounts of Carbon (C), yet very little information is available about C dynamics in dryland soils. Cyanobacterial soil crusts are considered a major source of organic C in drylands through photosynthesis. Through photosynthesis, cyanobacteria produce extracellular po...
