Non‐rainfall water inputs (NRWIs) are the least studied hydrological components in most
ecosystems. These NRWI components potentially play an important role in ecosystem …

Succulent plants are iconic components of the florae of many terrestrial ecosystems, but
despite having caused fascination and prompted investigation for centuries, they still …

Succulence is widely interpreted as an adaptation to drought, usually associated with CAM
and xeromorphic features among arid-adapted plants. However, this syndrome can also be …

The current review focuses on the contribution of non‐rainfall water (NRW) to arid and
semiarid regions (with a focus on the Negev), where NRW may provide a constant source of …

Abstract Non-rainfall water (NRW), defined here as dew, hoar frost, fog, rime, and water
vapour adsorption, might be a relevant water source for ecosystems, especially during …

Fog and low-lying cloud (fog) play a significant role in the maintenance of ecosystems, from
desert to alpine and from coastal to inland systems. Our central thesis is that fog provides …

Dew has been recognized as an important source of water for many coastal arid and
semiarid ecosystems because of its contributions to daily, seasonal and annual water …

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 responses of desert plants to climate warming have been poorly assessed, perhaps due
to the overall expectation that desert vegetation will expand as a consequence of this …

We assessed inter-seasonal dynamics of seed banks, dormancy and seed germination in
three endemic Chihuahuan Desert succulent species, under simulated soil warming …
