Researchers Reveal How Snow Depth Modulates Physical and Chemical Properties of Biological Soil Crusts
Research results indicate that changes in snowfall depth (increasing or decreasing snowfall depth) have significant adverse effects on carbon and nutrient availability of BSC as well as microbial inventory. This pattern of adverse effects may make the arid desert, which is already barren, more deficient in nutrients...
