摘要：
Deserts are apparently lifeless. Yet there appear a number of microhabitats that are inhabited by microorganisms. Since stress allows only the tolerant forms to grow, the microorganisms not only dominate such habitat but also grow sufficiently to impart special visible features to the habitat. We discuss here diversity and microbiology of specialized habitats of deserts, viz. patina (desert varnish), cryptobiotic crusts, saline playas and rhizosheath.
