  1. Desert Biomes

  2. Climate Information Arid Deserts: Temperature ranges from 10 to 30 degrees C throughout the year. However, there tend to be large daily fluctuations in temperature – very hot during the day and very cold at night. Cold Deserts:In some areas of the world, there are temperate climates that receive very little rainfall, such as coastal and mountain areas. Antarctica is also considered a cold desert. In all deserts, rainfall is less than 25 cm (approx. 10 in.) per year.

  3. Plants in the Arid Desert The dominant plants in the desert are succulents, which have stems and leaves covered with a waxy coating, which helps them store water. Hedgehog Cactus Saguaro Cactus Joshua Tree Barrel Cactus Aster

  4. Plants in the Cold Desert Salt bush Rice grass Black sage

  5. Animals in the Arid Desert Dingo Cactus Wren Addax Many desert animals are nocturnal, or active at night, and burrow into the ground during day. Fennec Fox Sand Rat Gila Monster Thorny Devil

  6. Animals in the Cold Desert Antarctica: Gobi: Snow leopard Emperor penguins Onager Patagonia: Tuco-tuco Guanaco Brown skua

  7. Threats to the Biome Urbanization In many places, the desert is being converted to housing developments and golf courses. Global Warming The polar ice caps that make up the cold deserts of Antarctica are slowly melting, changing ocean temperatures, salinity, and sea level. Lack of Water As cities along the west coast become more populated, they draw water away from their natural sources, including the desert Southwest.
