About the Book
This book deals with the desert environment and its unique flora and fauna in relation to extremes of climate. J.L. Cloudsley-Thom elaborates on how organisms in the desert have adapted to harsh conditions and have developed special mechanisms to survive in the extreme variability of desert climates. The book investigates two interrelated problems in desert biology: First, does the extreme variability of the desert climate engender a corresponding diversity of plants and animals that are 'special' in the sense that they have evolved unique mechanisms not found in other terrestrial environments? The book explains that desert biology is not only about the ecology of plants and animals adapted to arid conditions but also encompasses the ecology of organisms living in unpredictable, patchy, and variable surroundings that change both spatially and over time.
