*** About Desert Ecosystems: Deserts are diverse ecosystems often misunderstood as barren wastelands. In reality, they are biomes rich in biodiversity adapted to harsh, arid conditions. They cover about one-fifth of the Earth and are characterized by low rainfall, scarce vegetation, and wide temperature extremes. Various life forms thrive here, developing unique adaptations to overcome the environment's challenges. Plants like cacti and desert shrubs possess adaptations such as thick, water-retentive tissues and protective coverings. Animals, too, have evolved with behaviors and physiological mechanisms that conserve water and regulate temperature, enabling them to survive in these tough conditions.
