Microbial life is surprisingly abundant and diverse in global desert ecosystems. In these
environments, microorganisms endure a multitude of physicochemical stresses, including …

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 …

Egypt is characterized by its hyper-arid desert environment with high temperature, scanty
rainfall, high evapotranspiration rate, and patchy scattered precipitation-dependent …

Nonrainfall water inputs (eg, fog and dew) are the least studied hydrological components in
ecohydrology. The importance of nonrainfall waters on vegetation water status in arid …

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 …

Abstract The Namib Sand Sea is a hyper-arid coastal fog desert, with limited vegetation
scattered across the extensive sand dunes. Minimal and unpredictable rainfall, along with …

Carbon (C) in soils accounts for a substantial and dynamic portion of the global C cycle, with
concentrations of soil organic carbon (SOC) typically closely linked to vascular plant …

This study compares the performance of satellite precipitation products (SPPs) and soil
moisture-based rainfall products (SM2RPPs) in capturing rainfall patterns in Burkina Faso …

In hyper-arid regions, soil moisture's role in ecohydrological processes can differ
significantly from that in arid or semi-arid ecosystems. We investigated the spatial–temporal …

Aims Soil respiration (R s) is a major pathway for carbon release to the atmosphere. We
explored variability in dryland R s response to rainfall pulses at multiple levels of spatial …
