“…Dew, as an important input of water resources in a desert area, is condensed water of air moisture generated in near‐surface air at the temperature lower than the dew point temperature (Fischer, Veste, Bens, & Hüttl, ; Jacobs, Heusinkveld, & Berkowicz, ; Mchugh et al, ; Tomaszkiewicz, Najm, Beysens, Alameddine, & Elfadel, ). Therefore, the amount of dew has been anticipated to affect several ecological processes and functions including dune stability, biological soil crust, seed germination, plant survival, and biodiversity (Ben‐Asher, Alpert, & Ben‐Zvi, ; Hanisch, Lohrey, & Buerkert, ; Hill et al, ; Ratcliffe, ; Tomaszkiewicz et al, ; Zhuang & Zhao, ). However, our understandings whether and how amounts of dew affect variations in functional traits and demographic traits, which are potential indicators or factors for biodiversity and life history of a plant, remain unclear.…”
