NAMA Webinar: The world’s toughest microbial communities and what they tell us about fungal and bacterial structure

Biocrusts are soil surface communities of microbes that cover a large proportion of the Earth’s dryland ecosystems. These communities prevent the erosion of soils, increase water infiltration and fix nitrogen and carbon, but all these services are under threat from anthropogenic disturbance. I will give an overview of biocrusts and share my most recent findings on how they are affected by disturbance. I will also discuss modern techniques in microbiology and how we are using them to understand soil communities.
