Desert ecosystems are arid regions characterized by low rainfall, high temperatures, and sparse vegetation. These ecosystems are home to a variety of specialized plant and animal species that have adapted to the harsh environmental conditions. Research in desert ecosystems often focuses on understanding how these organisms have evolved to survive and thrive in such extreme environments, as well as the interactions between different species and the impact of human activities on desert ecosystems. Studies in desert ecosystems can provide valuable insights into ecology, evolution, and conservation biology.
