Leaf Temperatures of Desert Plants

Science, 1968
Temperatures of small leaves of many desert plants are within 3° C of air temperature in contrast to the temperature of Opuntia in the same locale; this plant has a temperature 10° to 16° C above air temperature. Theoretical justification for the observation is given based on an energy budget analysis.

Plant-soil interactions in deserts

Biogeochemistry, 1998
Geostatistical analyses show that the distribution of soil N, P and K is strongly associated with the presence of shrubs in desert habitats. Shrubs concentrate the biogeochemical cycle of these elements in ‘islands of fertility’ that are localized beneath their canopies, while adjacent barren, intershrub spaces are comparatively devoid of biotic ...
