Life at Rock Surfaces Challenged by Extreme Light, Temperature and Hydration Fluctuations
Rock surfaces provide a challenging habitat for a broad diversity of micro- or small-sized organisms. They interact with each other forming complex communities as well with their substrate causing biodeterioration of rock. Extreme fluctuation in light, temperature and hydration are the main factors...
