What would you hypothesize about changes in albedo as a result of the loss of mosses and lichen and gain in cyanobacteria?

As per the new research from journal scientific reports says that a change in climate kills the mosses and lichens in biocrusts.

Explanation:

Due to the climatic change the mosses and lichens are killed and the drylands reflects sunlight back to the space.

Soil surface communities such as mosses, lichens, and cynobacteria are found in drylands affects the soil wetting and drying after rainfall events.

From the experiment it is known that the soil moisture and rainfall data shows how biocrusts modify soil water gains and losses after rainfall under temperature(2.5°C warming) and rainfall(33% reduction).

After the rainfall both rainfall and biocrust increases soil water gains and experimental warming , rainfall intensity and soil moisture decreases them.

The dead biocrust release all the atmospheric carbon they stored as they grew.

Terrestrial Lands are colonized by biocrusts that incorporate cyanobacteria, mosses, lichens, and heterotrophs. In numerous drylands, biocrusts are likely the prevailing source of carbon and nitrogen in the atmosphere.

Explanation:

lizards have adapted to life in the desert. some desert lizards have toes with spiny scales to them run across the sand without sinking. some use the sand to hide from predators, or to search for small animals that they prey upon.
