BACTERIAL COMMUNITIES OF MOJAVE DESERT BIOLOGICAL SOIL CRUSTS ARE SHAPED BY DOMINANT PHOTOAUTOTROPHS AND THE PRESENCE OF HYPOLITHIC NICHES

Bacterial Communities of Mojave Desert Biological Soil Crusts Are Shaped by Dominant Photoautotrophs and the Presence of Hypolithic Niches

Biocrust communities are often heterogeneous and affected by small-scale environmental features, including both physical and biotic factors.The presence of moss in biocrusts, for example, is likely to create a set of physical conditions distinct from those found in microbial biocrusts that lack mosses.Similarly, hypolithic organisms living under an
