Ecophysiology and biological interactions of biological Soil Crusts of Cederberg Mountains, South Africa
Project summary:
This project will examine the ecophysiology, microfauna, and vascular plant interactions of biological soil crusts within the Cederberg Mountains. Through extensive field work and lab-based studies, the ecological roles and interactions of these unique communities in their biodiverse ecosystems will be examined.
