Voorbeelden van dew

• Our field measurements show that there is virtually no rain, although dew is frequent.

• Few larvae were found in dew droplets or concealed within heather leaflets; most larvae were recovered from the plant surface.

• The amount of moisture was expressed as millimetres of dew.

• During the early dry and dry seasons of 2002, leaf water potential and osmotic pressure were measured before and after a dew deposition event occurred.

• The process is not strictly contingent upon tidal ebb and flow : circadian dews and rainfalls can produce identical cycling.

• Average water gain by dew was calculated as average dew deposited on the leaves minus average nocturnal water loss.

• I know my heart will heal, the pain will lift as dew upon the grass is gone before our feet can feel it.

• The results indicate that dew formation was quite frequent and could have an important role in the growth and survival of some epiphytic bromeliads.

• They survive by occupying the endolithic niche among the hygroscopic halite crystals, which is able to condense moisture from occasional fog or dew.

• Finer-scale variations amongst the two deserts, however, cannot be explained solely by rainfall, but instead indicate fog and/or dew may be important moisture sources.

• Here we report on a numerical model that simulates the transport of dew and low levels of rain in undersaturated desert soil.

• A dew-point apparatus, which enabled a sample of air from a given place to be drawn into a chamber with the mirror, was tried.

• During the early dry season, dew increased with height and maximal dew amounts occurred at 2.85 m above ground.

• It seems that epiphytic bromeliads may also rely on alternative sources of water, such as fog or dew.

• Although dew deposition on plant leaves has potential physiological consequences for some plants, it has received little attention.
