@lysandra Thank you for the additions. I just started the project last week while going over "Unknowns" and realized there were common threads that needed joining into a net
I appreciate the effort! Many biocrust observations are not research-grade, and I try to ID the ones I can. Thus, any effort to get more people improving IDs on here is great!
@bobmcd Thanks for the article on soil biofilms. It helped me understand the complexity and interaction of soils. I think I want to go observe soils more closely, both cryptobiotic soil but also other soils.
I have a question for those that have more knowledge of the topic than me, in particular @aroe@lysandra@marykrieger@maxmallencooper@brewbooks or anyone else for that matter. Someone has included an observation of Stromatolites to this project. I'm not sure this is the right fit but I would like some opinions. Part of this is, from my understanding, that both Stromatolites and Thrombolites are fossilized remains of organisms rather than living in the current time. Thank you

an on line resource to identifying soil crusts...

@lysandra
Thanks for that @marykrieger
This fully downloadable review may be of introductory interest to some: Soil biofilms: microbial interactions, challenges, and advanced techniques for ex-situ characterization @brewbooks
I had no idea there was a biocrust project on here, just added a bunch of observations from the US and Canada.

I just upgraded the cover and icon photos with a couple that I had. Let me know if you feel these to not quite fit. @brewbooks @maxmallencooper
