Blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria, may be prevalent in our rivers and tap water. These
minuscule bacteria can grow swiftly and form blooms in warm, nutrient-rich water. Toxins …

Abstract In the Carpathian Basin, loess is the most important archive of Quaternary
palaeoclimate evolution, but only in the past two decades systematic and high-resolution …

Cyanobacteria are key microbes in topsoil communities that have important roles in
preventing soil erosion, carbon and nitrogen fixation, and influencing soil hydrology …

The rapid proliferation of cyanobacteria in bodies of water has caused cyanobacterial
blooms, which have become an increasing cause of concern, largely due to the presence of …

Drylands are limited by water and nutrients and exposed to high solar radiation, which result
in sparse vegetation cover, soil erosion, and subsequent land degradation. Land …

Root-knot nematodes are one of the plant damaging nematodes in agriculture causing a
projected annual yield loss of∼ 12%(∼ $160 billion) worldwide. Conventional solutions to …

The last decade was marked by efforts to define and identify the main cyanobacterial players
in biological crusts around the world. However, not much is known about biocrusts in Brazil's …

In the last few decades, there has been a growing interest in the occurrence of cyanotoxins
and their potential toxicity in the aquatic environment. However, the used of dried toxic …

The soil surface of drylands can typically be colonized by cyanobacteria and other microbes,
forming biological soil crusts or 'biocrusts'. Biocrusts provide critical benefits to ecosystems …

Two isolates of Oculatella from biological soil crusts in the arid and semi–arid tropical
upland region of México were characterized using a polyphasic approach which included …
