**How does a desert plant pull moisture from the air? ** đ¸ When it comes to eking out a living without much water, some desert plants can grow deep-reaching roots to get a drink from far underground. đ¸ But one dry-adapted plant turns to another source to gain moisture: the air. đ¸ Spindly shrubs called __**athel tamarisks** (Tamarix aphylla__) **draw salty water from the soil and** excrete the salt from their leaves âŦī¸. Then, at night, these crystals allow them to **collect water from the air**. đ¸ [Researchers found](https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2313134120) that this salt contained at least ten different materials, which together allowed it to pull water from the air at low humidities.
