Biomes and adaptations in deserts

by Mark Cowan
1

Human interference can upset the balance of food webs and nutrient cycles, e.g. by hunting and climate change.

2

The soils are quite salty due to high evaporation.

3

Generally found on west coasts, 300 N/S of the equator

4

They are affected by cold ocean currents (as don’t have much moisture), distance from the sea (as moisture gets used up as it travels inland), and in rain shadows.

5

Deserts have a high diurnal range (400C in day, -50C at night and less than 250mm rain/year.

6

It is the Hadley Cell that brings low pressure to these areas and therefore no cloud covers as the air sinks.

7

Deserts are interconnected (interdependent) where plants need animals and visa versa.

8

Rewilding restores natural processes and balance.

9

A camel's hump stores water.

10

This had happened in Yellowstone as hunters had taken out the top predator – wolves and their prey (elk) had bred out of control, grazing too much destroying the river banks and therefore the water’s quality.

11

Due to the salty soils and climate, deserts can only have so much vegetation so there’s low-density of animals.

12

Biomes are the biggest type of ecosystem caused by climate.

13

We live in the temperate forests with cool summers and mild winters

14

It is the Hadley Cell that brings high pressure to these areas and therefore no cloud covers as the air sinks.

15

This had all sorts of impact; notably aspen and cottonwood trees declined, beavers and even song birds had disappeared

16

Ephemeral (temporary) ponds and rivers have the highest biodiversity in a desert.

17

The climatic conditions are caused by latitude, altitude, ocean currents and others.

18

People in the desert need to work within this delicate balance.

19

Plants get nutrients and water from soil → passed onto animals who eat them. They spread the plant’s seeds.

20

They were reintroduced aiming to rewild the area – and it worked but has some disadvantages such as cost.
