The 12 pages that link to Desiccation, each with the reason it gives.

• Intertidal zoneRelated: Air exposure between tides can dry organisms, especially high on the shore.

• Dehydration reactionCompared with: Desiccation removes bulk moisture, not necessarily water through a chemical transformation.

• MummificationRelated: Removing moisture limits microbial growth and slows tissue decay.

• DryingRelated: It describes a more severe moisture loss than routine drying often aims to achieve.

• Rocky shoreRelated: Organisms high on the shore face drying during prolonged low tides.

• Viral envelopeRelated: Drying commonly damages envelopes, making many enveloped viruses less persistent outside hosts.

• Bacterial capsuleRelated: Capsule material can retain water and reduce bacterial drying.

• MummyRelated: Drying deprives many decay-causing microbes of the moisture they need.

• Parental care in amphibiansRelated: Parental site choice and foam nests can limit egg water loss.

• Tide poolRelated: Pool margins and exposed organisms risk drying between high tides.

• Christmas Island red crabRelated: The migration is concentrated in the wet season because land crabs risk drying out.

• ParaquatRelated: Paraquat has been used to dry crop foliage before harvest.
