Deserts and Xeric Shrublands

Harsh, arid conditions define this biome, encompassing the Sahara, Arabian, and Mojave Deserts. Life here has adapted to extreme temperature fluctuations and scarce water resources. Vegetation is often sparse yet specialized, including cacti and resilient shrubs. Wildlife includes camels, snakes, rodents, and an array of insect species, all exhibiting remarkable survival adaptations.
