Microbial response to deliquescence of nitrate-rich soils in the hyperarid Atacama Desert

<p>Life in hyperarid regions has adapted to extreme water scarcity through mechanisms like salt deliquescence. While halite (NaCl) crusts have been intensively studied and identified as one of the last habitats under hyperarid conditions, other less common hygroscopic salt crusts remain unexpl...
