1. Sand - value depends on quality and grain size
2. Tourist appeal
3. Oil, gas & water depending on the underground resources
4. Life skills & technologies from flora & fauna that survive in the deserts.
5. Two food products come from the "Prickley Pear" cactus.
1. The large egg shaped fruit which forms after the beautiful flowers
are gone is "de-thorned," removed, peeled, and the inside has a
very sweet pulp which is used to make dessert gels and glazes.
It can also be eaten directly, but it has lots of seeds which makes
the process very time consuming, but occasionally worth the effort.
The Mexican people call this fruit "Tuna."
6. The leaves of the same Prickly Pear cactus are also edible once the
needles have been removed [generally by burning them off]. I think
Mexicans call this "Nopalito."
Also, in Texas [maybe elsewhere], when there is drought and shortage
of forage grass and water for the cattle, the cattle, in desperation, will
eat the leaves, spines or thorns and all, ruining their lips, mouths, and
and tongues, resulting in not being able to eat,and eventual starvation.
During a drought, the ranchers will carefully burn off all the catus
needles so that the cactus is then safe for the cattle to eat. Not only
are the leaves nutricous [spelling?], but they contain a great amount of
water. Often, it there is enough catus to outlast the drought, the cattle
will survive.
7. There is another cactus, in Texas commonly known as the "Century
Plant." I'm not sure of the spelling of the Spanish name, but it's
something like "Megehey." This planty has many uses, its juice is used
to make a basic beer, which I think is called "Pulque" [again, spelling?]
I think the same juice is also used to make Tequila. The fibre, once
separated from the pulp and other material, is used for thread,
weaving mats, chair seats, and other such clothlike items.

∙ 13y agowell people often think that dry deserts are lifeless and useless but really they aren't! One of the most important products found in deserts is petroleum. Significant amounts of oil have been found under the desert in the Middle East, Australia, and Africa. Petroleum can be formed from marine organisms that have been burned or compressed. Also gold and diamonds are found in the desert. Deserts in Australia, Namibia, and South Africa contain some of the world's largest deposits of these precious materials. Deserts in Chile supply copper as well as sodium nitrate, which is used in making fertilizer. And last but not least, solar energy. Because of the lack of cloud cover, many deserts experience more than 300 days of sunlight per year! Many people are working to find ways to harness the sun's energy to help meet the energy needs of people around the world!
This is just some of the fascinating things in the book "Properties of Ecosystems" (page 86) by Debbie and Richard Lawrence. Hope this helped!
