| Abstract |
Biological soil crusts (hereafter, biocrusts) are a critical component of many semiarid ecosystems because they seriously affect seed germination, soil stability, fertility, and hydrology (Belnap 2003). These factors are central to ecosystem recovery following soil-plant disturbances such as increased wildfire or livestock grazing. Livestock grazing is the primary land use of semiarid landscapes globally, and the impacts of hooved animals on both soils and plant community condition, including exotic plant invasions, have been recognized for over a century (Samson and Weyl 1918, Daubenmire 1940). |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 December 2020.
All research outputs
#16,308,836
of 24,036,420 outputs
Outputs from Ecological Applications
#2,819
of 3,295 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#317,818
of 519,109 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Ecological Applications
#51
of 55 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,036,420 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,295 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.6. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 519,109 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 55 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
