desert plants and tropical plants have evolved in different ways such as:

. desert plants sore water to survive whereas tropical plants have waxy leaves to drain the water

. tropical plants have huge leaves to help encourage pollinators and reach the sun light whereas desert plants have thorns and smaller leaves that are grey to reflect the sunlight.

Tropical rainforest plants thrive in warm, wet environments with high rainfall and dense vegetation, leading to a wide variety of plant species that compete for sunlight. They have large, broad leaves to capture sunlight and abundant water. In contrast, desert plants have adaptations for hot, arid conditions with limited water, such as deep root systems, small or spiky leaves to reduce water loss, and storing water in their tissues.

The soil profile is different because the desert soil profile has contained a little organic mater also are thinner than soils in wetter climates.Prairie soils have thick, dark A horizons because the grasses that grow there contribute lots of organic matter. Temperate forest soils have thinner A horizons than prairie soils do.

A desert and rainforest are different because a desert is really dry and a rainforest is so moist and wet. A desert has lot of sand and it there are cactuses all around and a rainforest has plants and trees.

What climate zone receives the most precipitation?

The tropical rainforest receives the most precipitation and the desert receives the least.


Rank these ecosystems from lowest to highest primary productivity open ocean tropical rainforest desert lake?

Desert < Open ocean < Lake < Tropical rainforest. Desert ecosystems have the lowest primary productivity due to low water availability and extreme conditions. Open ocean ecosystems are next due to limited nutrients. Lake ecosystems have higher productivity as they are more nutrient-rich. Tropical rainforests have the highest productivity due to the abundance of sunlight, water, and nutrients.


What is the difference between a tropical rain forest and a grassland?

Tropical rainforests are characterized by high rainfall, dense vegetation, and high biodiversity, while grasslands have fewer trees and are dominated by grasses. Rainforests typically have a warm and wet climate, while grasslands can have varying levels of precipitation and are often found in drier regions. Additionally, rainforests support a wide range of plant and animal species, while grasslands are home to grazing animals and adapted plant species.


What is tropical desert?

A tropical desert is a type of ecosystem characterized by hot temperatures and low precipitation levels. These deserts are located in tropical regions near the equator and typically have sparse vegetation and unique adaptations by organisms to survive in hot and arid conditions. Examples of tropical deserts include the Sahara Desert and the Arabian Desert.
