Bacterial colonies can grow so thick that they form sturdy layers called biocrusts that stabilize soil against erosion. A study of these biocrusts across deserts in the United States showed that different types of desert bacteria thrive in different temperature regimes. Some prefer the sweltering heat of

clear land for agriculture‚ as well as processes like desertification and land conversion.

Land once converted to desert-land can never be reclaimed by any amount of corrective measures. This is also a serious issue because t does not only affect the land‚ but also the overall biodiversity of a place‚ especially when land is cleared for agriculture
