Available phosphorus (P) concentrations are low in dryland soils due to high pH values linked to the presence of pedogenic carbonates. Thus, dissolution and mobilization of P compounds are important c...

Aridlands are expected to be sensitive to even low levels of nitrogen (N) deposition, yet most experiments apply N in amounts that greatly exceed depo…

This study investigates carbon uptake in biological soil crusts (biocrusts) under varying precipitation regimes, testing pulse-response strategies in moss- and cyanobacteria-dominated crusts. The res...
