Are coastal deserts necessarily dew deserts? An example from the Tabernas Desert
Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2020 Abstract Vapor condensation, whether due to dew or fog, may add a stable and important source of water to deserts. This was also extensively assessed in the Negev, regarded as a dew desert. Dew deserts necessitate a large reservoir of vapor, and are therefore confined to near oceans or seas.

Ancient Photosynthetic Eukaryote Biofilms in an Atacama Desert Coastal Cave [PDF]
Microbial Ecology, 2009 Caves offer a stable and protected environment from harsh and changing outside prevailing conditions. Hence, they represent an interesting habitat for studying life in extreme environments. Here, we report the presence of a member of the ancient eukaryote red algae Cyanidium group in a coastal cave of the hyperarid Atacama Desert.

Development of a Model for the Implementation of the Circular Economy in Desert Coastal Regions
Land, 2022 Food production is the main challenge for developing arid regions due to the restricted access to fresh water. This study combines the environmental know-how of two coastal desert regions on the American continent with similar geographical characteristics to propose a general model for a circular economy in stressed environmental conditions.
