據一項於12 月 8 日發表在Science Advances雜誌上的研究的合著者、土壤生態學家Matthew Bowker表示，中國長城的土壤表麵覆蓋著一層由微小無根植物和微生物組成的“活皮”，即生物結皮，這是該遺產地持久力的來源。
The soil surfaces on the Great Wall of China are covered by a “living skin” of tiny, rootless plants and microorganisms known as biocrusts that are a source of the heritage site's staying power, according to soil ecologist Matthew Bowker, a coauthor of the study published December 8 in the journal Science Advances.
