Cryptobiotic soil

[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Some of the most outstanding examples of cryptobiotic soil that I've ever seen was like this "patch" near the Golden Throne trail at Capitol Reef NP.
Wikipedia has a very nice explanation of what this soil is and why it is important.
