Some tardigrade species, typically limno-terrestrial ones, tolerate almost complete dehydration and, in the dehydrated state, withstand physical extremes such as extreme temperatures, high pressure, organic solvents, high-dose irradiation and open space.
“All tardigrades require surrounding water to grow and reproduce, but some species—typically those living in the limno-terrestrial environments—have the ability to tolerate almost complete dehydration.”
From Extremotolerant tardigrade genome and improved radiotolerance of human cultured cells by tardigrade-unique protein (2016) · cites this paper as [9]
The currently measured extremes of the physical and chemical parameters of habitability on Earth are only the limits for metabolically active organisms, and dormant life is often able to tolerate even more extreme conditions.
“It is important to note that the values shown are only the limits for metabolically active organisms and that dormant life (such as a spore) is often able to tolerate even more extreme conditions (Rothschild and Mancinelli, 2001; Cavicchioli, 2002; Jönsson et al., 2008).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
