Desert soils are generally not very Biodiversity is
low and the
(living) and abiotic (non-living) factors are highly
interdependent. There is plenty of
in the desert
but a lack of
leads to limited plant growth with a limited
number of plants to feed on there is limited animal life. Both of these factors
lead to limited
and a lack of the organic
needed to give
to the soil.
These leads to
soil which again leads to limited
plant growth. In addition high levels of
draw salts up through the soils making it once more difficult for plants to grow.
