英文摘要	Fog and low-lying cloud (fog) play a significant role in the maintenance of ecosystems, from desert to alpine and from coastal to inland systems. Our central thesis is that fog provides ecosystems with critical water and nutrient subsidies, and also delivers pollutants, that often control ecosystem function. Fog is a medium, vector, and connector. In this mini-review, we synthesize recent research advances that reveal the diverse ways that fog shapes ecosystem processes. Crown wetting, elemental deposition, and light scattering and absorption are fundamental mechanisms by which fog has been shown to influence water fluxes, productivity, and decomposition in hyper-arid to ever-wet regions. These impacts are ultimately mediated by the structure and composition of biological systems that allow fog capture and utilization of resource subsidies. Climate change, and changes in land use, ocean circulation, and atmospheric pollution are simultaneously altering the nature of fog itself, and the architecture of the ecosystems adapted to capture it. The coupling between atmosphere and biosphere in fog-enshrouded areas raises new questions about past and future fog-dominated ecosystems, and their maintenance and diversity, in the face of global change.
