Saharan ecosystems

Saharan ecosystems encompass a variety of environments within the Sahara Desert, including barren sands, rocky plateaus, oases, and sparse grasslands. Despite harsh conditions like extreme heat and limited water, life persists through specialized plants, animals, and microorganisms adapted to conserve water and withstand aridity. Oases provide crucial habitats and water sources, supporting communities and diverse species. Overall, these ecosystems are characterized by resilience and adaptations that enable life to thrive in one of the world's most challenging and extreme environments.
