Bacteria increase arid-land soil surface temperature through the production of sunscreens

Soil surface temperature, which affects many biogeochemical processes, depends on soil albedo. Here, Couradeau et al.show that some cyanobacteria can increase the temperature of arid-land soil surface by as much as 10 °C through the accumulation of a sunscreen metabolite.
