Non-Rainfall Moisture Activates Fungal Decomposition of Surface Litter in the Namib Sand Sea
The hyper-arid western Namib Sand Sea (mean annual rainfall 0–17 mm) is a detritus-based ecosystem in which primary production is driven by large, but infrequent rainfall events. A diverse Namib detritivore community is sustained by minimal moisture inputs from rain and fog. The decomposition of pla...
