Sahara Desert Ecosystem

The Sahara Desert is the world’s largest hot desert, covering parts of North Africa. Its ecosystem is characterized by extreme temperatures, low rainfall, and unique flora and fauna adapted to harsh conditions. Vegetation includes resilient plants like cacti and acacia trees, while animals such as camels, foxes, and various reptiles have evolved to conserve water and withstand heat. The ecosystem is fragile, facing threats from climate change and human activities. Despite its harshness, the Sahara is rich in biodiversity and plays a vital role in the Earth’s climate system.
