Deserts are the driest places on Earth. Many have less than 4 cm³ of rain per year. Some can go without rain for several months of the year. Most deserts are hot, so more water evaporates into the air than falls as rain. Desert plants have deep roots, small leaves or thorns, and special ways of storing water. Many animals may never drink, taking all the water out of their food. Only a few species of plants and animals can survive in the desert. Hence, there is ________ dead material to make the soil rich. Few nutrients take a long time to complete an ecosystem cycle.
