Desert Ecosystem

A desert ecosystem is a unique environment characterized by dry conditions, low rainfall, and extreme temperatures. Despite these challenges, it supports specialized plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms adapted to conserve water and survive harsh conditions. Vegetation like cacti and shrubs store water, while animals such as reptiles, insects, and small mammals are active during cooler parts of the day or night. This ecosystem relies on a delicate balance between limited moisture, heat, and life forms that have evolved to thrive in such extreme environments, creating a vibrant yet fragile natural system.
