About Giora Kidron

Giora Kidron, With an exceptional h-index of 41 and a recent h-index of 28 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specializes in the field of Biocrusts, dew, lithobionts, surface hydrology, plants and soil.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Is nonrainfall water a likely water source for arid and semiarid biocrusts? A critical perspective

The enigmatic enrichment of potassium and magnesium in runoff and floodwater in the Negev: Do biocrusts hold the key?

Dryland nitrogen deposition induces microbiome‐driven increases in biocrust respiration and losses of soil carbon

A false paradigm? Do biocrust types necessarily reflect ‘successional stages’?

One yearlong analysis: The contribution of dewfall and distillation to rock-and cobble-inhabiting lichens in the Negev

The effect of the water source on niche partioning of chlorolichens and cyanobacteria—implications for resilience?

Even in a dew desert: Dewfall does not provide sufficient moisture for biocrust growth–Evidence from direct measurements and a meteorological model

One‐year‐long evaluation of non‐rainfall water available to soil biocrusts in the Negev Highlands
