An Example of Algae as Pioneers in the Lithosere and their Role in Rock Corrosion

The role of an Aulosira aenigmatica community in rock corrosion and soil formation is described. The results indicate that this community had a considerable corroding action and led to corrosion of rocky substratum equivalent to fifteen times the weight of the alga. The algal community also had a hi...

Zusammenfassung:The role of an Aulosira aenigmatica community in rock corrosion and soil formation is described. The results indicate that this community had a considerable corroding action and led to corrosion of rocky substratum equivalent to fifteen times the weight of the alga. The algal community also had a high moisture-absorbing power, absorbing water almost equal to its weight.
