Abstract
Cyanobacterial inoculation can accelerate the formation of induced biological soil crusts (IBSCs) and is suggested as an effective strategy for desertification reversal. However, previous studies concerning the spatial distribution of IBSCs at the micro scale are insufficient. In this study, IBSCs distributed in microhabitats differing in slope aspect, slope gradient and plant cover were investigated to reveal the effects of microhabitats on...
