Cryptobiotic Soil

Cryptobiotic Soil, Canyonlands, Utah. Biological soil crusts are important components of desert ecosystems. They are a mix of organisms and their metabolic by-products, including cyanobacteria, bacteria, liverworts, green and brown algaes, lichens and fungi. They help plants by stabilizing sand and dirt, preventing erosion, retaining water, and fixing atmospheric nitrogen.
