Cyanobacterial community composition in Arctic soil crusts at different stages of development
peer reviewed Cyanobacterial diversity in soil crusts has been extensively studied in arid lands of temperate regions, particularly semi-arid steppes and warm deserts. Nevertheless, Arctic soil crusts have received far less attention than their temperate counterparts. Here we describe the cyanobacte...
