Cyanobacteria inoculation improves soil stability and fertility on different textured soils: Gaining insights for applicability in soil restoration
TL;DR: In this paper, two cyanobacterial species, Phormidium ambiguum (non-fixing) and Scytonema javanicum (fixing), were inoculated on different textured soils (from silt loam to sandy), and analyzed cyanobacteria biocrust development and evolution of physicochemical soil properties under laboratory conditions.

Colorimetric Method for Determination of Sugars and Related Substances
TL;DR: In this article, a method was developed to determine submicro amounts of sugars and related substances using a phenol-sulfuric acid reaction, which is useful for the determination of the composition of polysaccharides and their methyl derivatives.

Generic assignments, strain histories, and properties of pure cultures of cyanobacteria
TL;DR: Revisions are designed to permit the generic identification of cultures, often difficult through use of the field-based system of phycological classification, and are both constant and readily determinable in cultured material.

Organisms as ecosystem engineers
TL;DR: The role that many organisms play in the creation, modification and maintenance of habitats does not involve direct trophic interactions between species, but they are nevertheless important and common.

Aggregate stability and assessment of soil crustability and erodibility: I. Theory and methodology
TL;DR: In this paper, a unified framework for the measurement of aggregate stability is proposed to assess a soil's susceptibility to crusting and erosion, which combines three treatments having various wetting conditions and energies (fast wetting, slow wetting and stirring after pre-wetting).
