What is the ecosystem of the desert?
desert, any large, extremely dry area of land with sparse vegetation. It is one of Earth’s major types of ecosystems, supporting a community of distinctive plants and animals specially adapted to the harsh environment.
What are the biotic components of desert?
Biotic components include plants, animals, decomposers. Nonliving components include air, water, land.
How do you make a desert ecosystem?
To build a desert biome you will need:
- Sand.
- Dirt.
- Jar or bottle with sealed lid.
- Sticks.
- Rocks.
- Desert plants (we used a succulent)

What are the different components of a desert ecosystem?

What plants grow in the desert ecosystem?
Grasses, thorny bushes, some species of trees like zizyphus, acacia, etc. are the producers of the desert ecosystem. And many species of succulents like euphorbia, agave, asparagus, etc. also grows in this ecosystem known as xerophytes. All of these plants can adapt to low rainfall and high temperature (2) & (4). 2.
