Multi-scale Studies of Microbial Mats and Biocrusts: Integrating Remote Sensing with Field Investigations in Antarctica's McMurdo Dry Valleys
… driven by vascular plants in most terrestrial ecosystems and by microbes in more extreme ecosystems. In dense associations, microbial organisms can form visually conspicuous layers on sediment, soil, and rock surfaces, called microbial mats and biological soil crusts (i.e., biocrusts). Both …
