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?
Temperate Desert Biomes have an annual precipitation of
100CM

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.
