| Abstract: | |||||
|
Dryland ecosystems contain small amounts of Carbon (C), yet very little information is available about C dynamics in dryland soils. Cyanobacterial soil crusts are considered a major source of organic C in drylands through photosynthesis. Through photosynthesis, cyanobacteria produce extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) increasing soil organic C (SOC) pool as carbohydrates.
