Scientists Reveal Responses of Different Biocrusts to Warming and Increased Drought

Recently, a research team led by Prof. LI Xinrong from Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources (NIEER) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) evaluated how both lichens and mosses in biocrusts communities responded to 0.5℃ and 1.5℃ increases in temperature coupled with 5% and 8% reductions in total annu...
