Nitrogen fixation in macro- and microphytic patches in the Negev Desert

1998-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Nitrogen fixation is thought to be a major input to the N budget of deserts, and it is generally considered to be carried out by cyanobacteria in the soil microphytic crust, not by free-living heterotrophic bacteria. We have compared N fixation in Negev desert microphytic soil crusts and macrophytic patch soils. We evaluated four different types of crusts in two sites, which vary in their rainfall amount from cyan...
