covers about one fifth of the earth's surface and occur where rainfall is less than 50 cm/year. most deserts occur at low latitudes, have a considerable amount of specialized vegetation, as well as specialized animals. soils have abundant nutrients, need only water to become productive, and have little or no organic matter. common disturbances include occasional fires or cold weather, and sudden, infrequent, but intense rains that cause flooding. |

in this terrestrial biome precipitation is low and highly variable, generally less that 30cm per year; these may be hot or cold. the plants here are adapted for heat and desiccation tolerance, water storage, and reduced leaf surface area. common animals here include many kinds of snakes and lizards, scorpions, ants, beetles, migrator and resident birds, and see-eating rodents; many of which are nocturnal. |
