A networking resource devoted to biological soil crusts and the researchers who study them. We will provide a means for international scientists to communicate, share their research, share important news and announcements, ask questions and find collaborators. We will also provide a space for informal writing on research, opinion, and ideas (now seeking posters!).

A recent one by Fernando and I.

I just finished posting several biocrust papers from 2012, there would have been more if more publishers used share buttons. Kudos to Wiley. Boo to ESA, Springer, Elsevier. Why wouldn't you embrace every tool for sharing the abstract of papers you've published? Wierd.

Anyway, I'll see if I can dig up more recent references and post them later.
