Deserts have traditionally been considered as a low moisture system where biological activity is triggered by unpredictable rainfall in time and space. Studies on desert ecosystems functions, processes, dynamics and diversity of soil biota had been f

Two species of Ephedra: E. trifurca and E. torreyana inhabit shrub and grassland habitats in the northern Chihuahuan Desert. E. torreyana is limited to black grama grasslands where grasses are taller than the shrub. E. torreyana is heavily browsed by

This chapter describes assessment, which is a one-time process that relies on a statistically valid sampling within a region and monitoring that consists of a series of measurements designed to provide information on the trajectory of change in the e

What animals do in dryland ecosystems, i.e., their effects on ecosystem properties or processes, is called ecological engineering. Since all organisms modify the physical environment, it is preferable to focus on keystone species that have major effe

The main driver of global warming and climate change is increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels. Experimental doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide in the Mojave Desert had little effect on the native vegetation but di
