USGS scientist Sasha Reed studys outdoor biocrust testing sites
Detailed Description
USGS scientist Sasha Reed studies sites where different climate conditions are being mimicked to determine effect on biocrusts.
Arid and semiarid ecosystems are expected to experience significant changes in temperature and precipitation patterns, which may affect soil organisms in ways that cause surfaces to become lighter in color and thus reflect more sunlight, according to a new USGS study.
