The 15 pages that link to Desiccation tolerance, each with the reason it gives.

• Drought toleranceBroader topic: It is an extreme form of dehydration survival, beyond tolerance of ordinary drought stress.

• BryophyteRelated: Many bryophytes tolerate drying, although active growth and reproduction require water.

• VitrificationRelated: The biological problem that glass-forming sugars answer by vitrifying and by tolerating ice.

• CryopreservationCompared with: Some biological material survives drying, avoiding the need for frozen storage.

• DesiccationRelated: It distinguishes organisms that withstand desiccation from those damaged by it.

• Abscisic acidRelated: Abscisic acid helps developing seeds acquire this survival capacity.

• TerrestrializationRelated: Resistance to drying helped early colonizers persist through exposure to air.

• AnhydrobiosisNarrower topic: This broader trait includes anhydrobiosis as well as forms that do not involve cryptobiosis.

• CryoprotectantCompared with: Some protective sugars overlap with cryoprotection, but desiccation tolerance concerns drying rather than freezing.

• CryptobiosisNarrower topic: Cryptobiosis is the extreme endpoint on this continuum of survival strategies.

• KillifishRelated: Dormant embryos of some annual killifish withstand dry conditions in temporary-pool sediments.

• FucusRelated: Tolerance of drying helps Fucus persist during low tides on exposed shores.

• PorphyraRelated: Tolerance of drying helps intertidal Porphyra blades withstand low tides.

• Microbial cystRelated: Some cysts resist drying, a common environmental challenge during dispersal.

• TetrigidaeRelated: Some species occupy exposed habitats where avoiding dehydration is advantageous.
