Additional information

This research incorporated state of the art engineering characterisation and modelling methods into the study of biological soil crusts, which have extremely fragile microstructures. The non-destructive methods overcome constraints in microstructural measurement of such fragile microstructures, demonstrating the close relationship between microstructures and hydrological properties. The value of this methodology has been recognised by other researchers worldwide such as Gerke (Russisa, Eurasian Soil Science 700-709, 2012), Coppol (Italy, Soil and Tillage Research 34-43, 2011) and Lichner (Slovakia, Catena 58-68, 2013).
