Desert habitats receive less than 10 inches of rain per year. Many deserts receive much less rainfall. Desert categories are hot and dry, semi-arid, coastal and cold. The highest recorded temperature, 134°F, occurred in a hot desert at Furnace Creek, Death Valley, USA, in 1913. On the ...

For example, inhabitants of Antarctic rockpools are active in cold water, and they diapause or secrete antifreeze substances to avoid consequences of subfreezing temperatures; their physiology differs markedly from relatives in temperate or desert pools. Most freshwater plants and animals cannot regulate ...
The Mojave Desert is a winter-rainfall desert, experiencing drought in the summer months, and occasional rain during the cooler winter months. For many years, it has attracted the attention of ecologists and conservation biologists concerned to maintain the unique status of this region. This book ...
The name, first used in 1974 in a paper by a scientist named R.D. MacElroy, literally means "extreme-loving" [source: NASA]. These hardy creatures are remarkable not only because of the environments in which they live, but also because many of them couldn't survive in supposedly normal...
Rock weathering is a key process in global elemental cycling. Life participates in this process with tangible consequences observed from the mineral interface to the planetary scale. Multiple lines of evidence show that microorganisms may play a pivotal—yet overlooked—role in weathering. This topic ...
