Biogeography of Cyprinodon across the Great Plains-Chihuahuan Desert region and adjacent areas [PDF]

, 2021
Cyprinodon is renowned for localized endemism across the North American desert. Competing molecular studies have made elucidating timing of diversification across the desert controversial.

Fog_Hive© : 3D fog collection along the coastal Atacama desert [PDF]

, 2012
The provision of drinking water turns out to be one of the great challenges for the future because central water supply systems cannot technically or logistically be implemented. FogHive©'s main aim is stopping desertification by repairing endangered fog

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.

Process-based modeling of coastal dune development [PDF]

, 2012
In this paper, the aeolian transport model DUNE (Sauermann et al., 2001, Kroy et al., 2002) that describes important features and dynamics of typical desert dunes, is extended such that it can be applied in sandy coastal areas.

Plant life at the dry limit-Spatial patterns of floristic diversity and composition around the hyperarid core of the Atacama Desert.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Extreme arid conditions in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile have created a unique vegetation almost entirely restricted to the desert margins along the coast of the Pacific Ocean and the Andean range.

Seeds banks of desert annuals in an aridity gradient in the southern Atacama Desert [PDF]

, 2009
*Background/Question/Methods* Annual plant communities are important components of the biodiversity found in the coastal southern Atacama Desert in Chile. Moreover, they are an important economic resource for the human communities living in that

Scanning electron microscopy analysis of quartz grains in desert and coastal dune sands (Altar Desert, NW Mexico)

Ciencias Marinas, 2007
A scanning electron microscopy analysis was performed for 570 quartz grains from desert and coastal dune sands in NW Mexico. Our main goal is to present a new application in the use of ternary diagrams with logistic normal confidence region boundaries ...

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.
