Atmospheric Water Uptake by an Atacama Desert Shrub
Science, 1980Nolana mollis , a succulent-leaved shrub of the extreme coastal desert of Chile, has the capacity to condense water on its leaves out of unsaturated atmospheres, Metabolic energy would have to be expended to move this water either from the leaf surface directly to the mesophyll or, when dripped to the soil, from there into the ...

Past Climates of Atacama Desert
The Atacama is the driest warm desert on the planet yet the geological evidence indicate it was far more humid in the past. Factors such as Humboldt ocean current and orogenic effect of the Andes are said to contribute to it's extreme aridity today.Aparna Prasannakumar +5 more
