Anderson, DC/ Harper, KKT/ Holmgren, RC 1982: Factors influencing development of cryptogamic soil crusts in Utah deserts. - Journal of Range Management35: 180-185. [RLL List # 113-2 / Rec.# 588] Keywords: UTAH/ TERRICOLOUS/ DESERT/ SOIL
Abstract: 6 tables. 5 figures. ["Electrical conductivity, percentage silt, and soil phosphorus were found to be correlated with well-developed cryptogamic crusts. Both total cryptogamic cover and the number of cryptogamic species decreased under grazing pressure." No specific lichen species are mentioned in this paper.]
