Meanings of natural desiccation in English

We showed that arctic populations of Zygnema acclimate well to natural desiccation via hardening that is mediated by slow desiccation.

Six populations in various stages of natural desiccation were selected, from wet biomass floating in water to dried paper-like crusts.

Within half a century, and particularly within these thirty years, the natural desiccation of this great basin has excited general attention.

These natural desiccations, so important to agriculture, have been considerable during the last ten years, in which America has suffered from great droughts.
