Based on Matthew Bowker - a soil ecologist and the co_author of a research published on December 8th's Science Advances magazin , the soil on China's Great wall is coverd by a living skin, so called Biological soil crusts, which are composed of rootless micro plants and microorganism. This is why this heritage can last so long.
According to a study published in Science Advances on Dec. 8th, soil ecologist Matthew Bowker, one of the study's co-authors, states that the soil surface of the Great Wall has a "living skin," meaning tiny plants without roots and microorganisms covering the soil. This is also known as a biological crust that preserves the long-standing cultural heritage.
According to a study by Matthew Bowker, a pedologist who is the co-author of a research paper published on Science Advances on Dec 8th, the surface soil on China Great Wall is covered by a “living skin”, comprised of minute rootless plants and micro-organism, i.e. a biological soil crust, that is the source for the enduring of the legacy.
