- W2901551331 abstract "Abstract Although being relatively young, research on biocrusts has already yielded numerous paradigms and/or dubious theses. The very existence of these “truths” may lead to erroneous conclusions and/or hinder research on these topics. In the current summary, eight paradigms and dubious theses are examined: (a) Biocrusts require physical crusts for establishment; (b) plant establishment is necessary for biocrust establishment on dunes; (c) developmental stages of biocrusts are often regarded as successional stages; (d) climate‐driven crust morphology determines crust hydrology; (e) infiltration (and subsequently run‐off) over biocrusts is determined by soil pores; (f) run‐off in dryland may stem from hydrophobicity; (g) exopolysaccharides trigger infiltration; and (h) mosses impede infiltration and subsequently the growth of perennial plants. During this summary, reasons that lie behind these paradigms and dubious theses are examined using data and/or rationale for a critical analysis. Experimental data, mostly gathered from the Nizzana research site of the Hallamish dune field (Negev Desert, Israel), and published material (mainly from the Tabernas and Tengger deserts) are used. It is argued that most of the paradigms were either based on improper techniques or never thoroughly investigated. The argument presented herein does not necessarily imply that none of the paradigms may take place under very specific conditions but that their acceptance as general “truth” is questionable." @default.
