Biomes And Ecosystems Questions
A desert biome is characterized by extremely dry and arid conditions with very little rainfall. It typically has high temperatures during the day and low temperatures at night. Deserts often have sparse vegetation, consisting mainly of drought-resistant plants such as cacti and succulents. The soil in deserts is usually sandy or rocky, with low nutrient content. Due to the lack of water, desert animals have adapted to survive in these harsh conditions, often having specialized features like water storage abilities or the ability to withstand extreme temperatures.
