2. 1. Desert Ecosystem Bushes and cacti are conspicuous in deserts.
Generally four distinct types of life-forms of plants (as producers) are found in desert ecosystems such as:
annuals, represented by Bromus species that avoid drought by growing in presence of adequate moisture.
he desert shrubs, with numerous branches arising from basal part of the short stem and small thick leaves that may be shed during dry periods-these desert shrubs survive by their ability to become dormant before wilting takes place.
the succulents e.g. cacti and euphorbias-these plants store water in their water storage tissues.
microflora e.g. mosses, lichens, some blue-green algae etc. which remain dormant in the soil during dry period but they are able to respond quickly to cool or wet periods.
