Slow and Fast Desiccation of Single-cell Thick Fronds of Filmy Ferns
Bio-Protocol, 2018 Filmy ferns can desiccate and recover after rehydration to resume photosynthesis. Slow and fast desiccation rates were compared in filmy fern fronds to determine whether structural or physiological differences may occur between desiccation rates.

Regulatory dynamics distinguishing desiccation tolerance strategies within resurrection grasses
Plant Direct, 2022 Desiccation tolerance has evolved recurrently in grasses using two unique strategies of either protecting or dismantling the photosynthetic apparatus to minimize photooxidative damage under life without water (anhydrobiosis).

Desiccation of rock pool habitats and its influence onpopulation persistence in a Daphnia metacommunity [PDF]
, 2009 Habitat instability has an important influence on species' occurrence and community composition. For freshwater arthropods that occur in ephemeral rock pools, the most drastic habitat instabilities are droughts and the intermittent availability of water.
