Prairies by The Desert Biome. In this biogeography video we look at the world's deserts, explain why they are that way, and what types of vegetation we can find there. One of the most extreme biomes on our world, from the Sahara to the Sonora, the Gibson to the Gobi, these are the deserts of planet Earth.
Deserts are dry, arid places that receive 25cm or less rainfall a year. In today's video, we will go on an adventure while learning about the four main types of deserts, the people and wildlife that have adapted to these environments , and the process of how new desert areas are formed (desertification).
Deserts are extremely dry environments that are home to well-adapted plants and animals. The main types of deserts include hot and dry deserts, semi-arid deserts, coastal deserts, and cold deserts.
Desert biomes are the driest of all the biomes. In fact, the most important characteristic of a desert is that it receives very little rainfall. Most deserts receive less than 300 mm a year compared to rainforests, which receive over 2,000 mm.
Biomes exist on land and in oceans and differ according to their location and geographic characteristics.
Topography (the shape of the land), climate and soils mean similar land biomes can have different species of plants and animals.
Food can be produced from different biomes when people change the environment for example by ploughing the land, building greenhouses to grow plants, draining swamps and wetlands, building terraces on slopes etc.
Philipp Saumweber is creating a miracle in the barren Australian outback, growing tonnes of fresh food. So why has he fallen out with the pioneering environmentalist who invented the revolutionary system?
