In the first study of its kind, we have described the response of cyanobacteria to topsoil stockpiling at various depths and ages. Cyanobacteria are moderately resilient to stockpiling at depth and over time, with average species richness greatest in the top 10 cm of the stockpiles of all ages and more viable within the first 6 weeks, indicating potential for biocrust re-establishment. In general, the resilience of cyanobacteria to burial in topsoil stockpiles in both the short and long term was significant; however, in an arid environment recolonisation and community diversity could be impeded by drought. Biocrust re-establishment during mine rehabilitation relies on the role of cyanobacteria as a means of early soil stabilisation. At J–A mine operations do not threaten the survival of any of the organisms we studied. Increased cyanobacterial biomass is likely to be a good indicator and reliable metric for the re-establishment of soil microprocesses.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 15:14:50 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37061 Wed 12 Aug 2020 10:18:45 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42930 Wed 07 Sep 2022 14:55:20 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46673 Tue 29 Nov 2022 09:22:04 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39555 Tue 26 Jul 2022 11:57:39 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54215 Tue 13 Feb 2024 11:59:25 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45871 Tue 06 Dec 2022 10:12:23 AEDT ]]>
