A cryptobiotic soil crust at Arches National Park is home to a young fish hook cactus

Figure 1. Cryptobiotic soil crusts at Arches National Park accumulate very slowly as cyanobacteria, algae, lichens, and other microscopic organisms grow in the desert climate. This one has become home for a young fish hook cactus. These fragile soils can take decades to recover from a careless footprint.
