Desert

Explanation:

  • Deserts are dry barren lands that have rocky or sandy soil, they have little or no vegetation.
  • In desert water is lost due to evaporation as the transpiration rate is more than precipitation.
  • Most of the Desert plants are salt and drought tolerant. They store water in their stems, roots and leaves.
  • Desert plants also have long roots that go deep in the soil to sap water and control erosion. The leaves and stems lower the surface velocity and checks soil erosion.  
  • The plant cover is generally sparse and diverse.  Saguaro, Golden barrel cactus, Ocotillo, Joshua tree Brittle bush, Desert ironwood are some of the plants found in deserts.
