Desert breath—How fog promotes a novel type of soil biocenosis, forming the coastal Atacama Desert’s living skin [PDF]
Geobiology, 2019 AbstractThe Atacama Desert is the driest non‐polar desert on Earth, presenting precarious conditions for biological activity. In the arid coastal belt, life is restricted to areas with fog events that cause almost daily wet–dry cycles. In such an area, we discovered a hitherto unknown and unique ground covering biocenosis dominated by lichens, fungi ...

Transitivity of the climate–vegetation system in a warm climate [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2015 To date, the transitivity of the global system has been analysed for late Quaternary (glacial, interglacial, and present-day) climate. Here, we extend this analysis to a warm, almost ice-free climate with a different configuration of continents.

Field Evidence for the Initiation of Isolated Aeolian Sand Patches
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Sand patches are one of the precursors to early stage protodunes and occur widely in both desert and coastal aeolian environments. Here we show field evidence of a mechanism to explain the initiation of sand patches on non‐erodible surfaces, such as ...
