Re-Engineering Dew-Harvesting Cactus Macrostructures to Enhance Water Collection as an Adaptive Climate Change Strategy: An Experimental Comparison

The spinal structures found on <i>Copiapoa cinerea</i> var. <i>haseltoniana</i>, an efficient dew-harvesting cactus, were fabricated and evaluated both in a climate chamber and outdoors in dewy conditions. A mix of aluminium and steel was used to fabricate these surfaces, wit...
