With the changing climate and environment, the nature of fog has also changed and
because of its impact on humans and other systems, study of fog becomes essential. Hence …

We performed a systematic review of the scientific literature on the coastal lomas, and
discuss their origin, fog dependence, biodiversity patterns, and conservation. Coastal lomas …

There is widespread evidence that plants can facilitate associated species through
microclimate moderation. These effects can act locally, by increasing vital rates via direct …

Occult precipitation events (fog, dew and light rain) can alter plant water and nutritional
status, both directly through the aerial uptake of surface water and nutrients, and indirectly …

The hyperarid core of the Atacama Desert represents one of the most intense environments
on Earth, often being used as an analog for Mars regolith. The area is characterized by …

Nurse tree canopies mitigate exposure to freezing temperatures that could result in injury or
mortality to the saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea). Abiotic objects have been …

Anthropogenic factors such as climate change, land use, urbanization, alongside the spread
of invasive species are some of the challenges impacting the arid and semi-arid regions …

Rare Pacific coast fog ecosystems are under threat from climate change and local factors.
Although coastal fog is known to affect soil properties and microbial diversity, few studies on …

Photoprotection is a plant functional mechanism to prevent photooxidative damage by
excess light. This is most important when carbon assimilation is limited by drought, and as …

The fog harvesting grass Stipagrostis sabulicola is one of the few plants able to cope with
the hostile conditions in dune fields of the hyper-arid Namib Desert. S. sabulicola tussocks …
