Summary
[edit]DescriptionBig Spring canyon Overlook - Flickr - brewbooks.jpg |
The desert habitat of Coleogyne ramosissima (Blackbrush) and sporadic Juniperus osteosperma (Utah juniper) growing on cryptobiotic soil. This image gives an idea of the fragility of Cryptobiotic soil, you can see the trails through the blackbrush. I guess that a number of these are games trails. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleogyne Cryptobiotic soil is a biological soil crust composed of living cyanobacteria, green algae, brown algae, fungi, lichens, and/or mosses. Commonly found in arid regions around the world, cryptobiotic soils go by many names, including cryptogamic, microbiotic, or microphytic soils or crusts. Soil crusts are important members of desert ecosystems and contribute to the well-being of other plants by stabilizing sand and dirt, promoting moisture retention, and fixing atmospheric nitrogen.
