■What is BSC■ BSC stands for Biological Soil Crust. It refers to a sheet-like colony (population) of soil microorganisms formed by soil algae, lichens, filamentous fungi, and mosses that intertwine with soil particles and clumps on the surface. 【BSC is a natural phenomenon observed in the early stages of vegetation succession】 It naturally forms over time on surfaces such as eroded slopes and newly cultivated farmland. It can also be seen in nearby places like residential gardens. ■Novelty■ We utilize soil algae, which are distributed throughout the natural world [globally], as materials. Algae are widespread species confirmed worldwide, moving and dispersing globally with sand and dust carried by the wind. They reproduce asexually and coexist with local plants without causing genetic disruption, being treated as native species. 【Flow from BSC formation to plant growth】 BSC formation [soil algae, mosses, etc.] 　↓ BSC formation prevents erosion and improves water retention [creating a plant growth environment] *within about 3 months 　↓ Surrounding plants arrive and grow on BSC [herbaceous growth] *within about 6 months 　↓ Surrounding plants arrive and grow on BSC [woody growth] *within about 1 to 2 years
