Tiny plants crucial for sustaining dwindling water supplies

By Isabel ASPS, News, Plant Science

Miniscule plants growing on desert soils can help drylands retain water and reduce erosion, researchers have found. A global meta-analysis led by UNSW scientists shows tiny organisms that cover desert soils—so-called biocrusts—are critically important for supporting the world's shrinking water…
