| Eggs are unable to survive dessication, but may survive a few days in soft mud. |
| In situations where water is in relatively short supply, the eggs may remain in damp mud for days, but they cannot survive dessication. |
| The ability of Bacillus species to resist dessication allows their survival on dried products such as cereal and flours. |
| Coastal bluffs represent another sensitive ecosystem, one in which plants face disturbance from wind, heat dessication, storms and salt spray, and must sustain themselves on very shallow soils. |
| After coagulating, the surgeon must make a partial, prudent section until pink tissue is found, indicating the insufficiency of the dessication. |
| This illustrates a mechanism for the formation of dessication cracks following liquefaction. |
