  1. Desert Biome Research By Gracie Morehead

  2. DesertGeography & Climate • Location: North America and outside of the U.S. • Description: Hot and dry days, cold nights. • Precipitation: 3-5 inches per. year. • Temperature range: 55-75 degrees Fahrenheit • Climate: Hot and dry

  3. DesertBiodiversity • Plant Species: Creosote bush, sagebrush, ocotillo, and cati. • Animal Species: Snake, insects, lizards, skinks, geckos, gazelles, dikdiks, kangaroo, rat, and kit fox. • 15 different kinds of plants and animals.

Some plants have seeds that can stay dormant in the sand for a long time, until there is enough rain for them to grow. • Animals: Some mice build their home out of fallen cactus spines to protect themselves from predators.

  5. DesertInteractions of Biotic and Abiotic • Biotic: Snakes eat mice. • Abiotic: There is not any grass because there is littler rain.

  6. What is Biodiversity? • Biodiversity is a large variety of plants and animals in an ecosystem.
