Although dew is an unimportant source of moisture in humid areas, plants and arthropods living in some arid regions depend on it for survival. Further, this moisture is occasionally available during the dry summer months when plants are experiencing the greatest stress. To assess dew contribution to the annual water balances in semi-arid desert valleys, we conducted two experiments; one in a heterogeneous semi-arid desert valley in north-eastern Nevada, U.S.A. (Site A), and the other one in an irrigated homogeneous alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) field of a semi-arid desert valley in central Utah, U.S.A. (Site B). Both sites are located in the Great Basin, Western U.S.A. Site A is considered a closed desert valley...
