Chemical Factors?

Temperate Desert Biomes are

characterized by mineralized soils

with low organic content, these

minerals embody themselves as

salts when in contact with water

cementing into layers of "calcrete".

Physical Factors?

Temperate Deserts represent the

largest portion of barren and

inhospitable land due to its lack of

precipitation; an essential factor for life.

As such, animal and plant life constitute

low populations and have developed

drought resistant characteristics and

learning to cooperate with the high

mineral contents.How does weather come into this?

Environmental damage and solutions.

• Despite being highly prone to human influence from soil disturbances, deserts remain untouched and unwanted by preponderant society. Lack of rich resources in desert regions opens up sentiments of neglect, yet the biome is thoroughly penetrated by environmental damage.
