Figure Legend Snippet: Benefits of biocrust in arid ecosystems versus heavily disturbed and climatically impacted drylands. Biocrust actively redistributes water to neighboring vegetation while also aggregating soil particles and increasing nitrogen and carbon fixation creating a larger organic layer of soil. Heavily disturbed and climatically challenged soils have decreased water infiltration and increased aeolian dust due to erosion leading to a decrease in available resources causing native vegetation and animal competition responses. These areas may also harbor an increase in soil pathogens due to soil biota shifts. Created with BioRender.com .
