Quartz stones are ubiquitous in deserts and are a substrate for hypoliths, microbial colonists of the underside of such stones. These hypoliths thrive where extreme temperature and moisture stress limit the occurrence of higher plant and animal life. Several studies have reported the occurrence of g

## Abstract Time‐domain reflectometry (TDR) sensors have been widely used in many fields for measurement of soil water content. However, few TDR sensors have been used in a hyper‐arid environment (e.g. less than 0·05 m^3^ m^−3^), and such sensor applicability is not yet confirmed. In this study we

Friction threshold velocities (FTVs) were determined for biological soil crusts in dierent stages of recovery. Particles on the surface of crusts that had been relatively undisturbed for at least 20 years were found to have signi®cantly higher FTVs than those that had been disturbed 5, 10 or 1 years
