adapt to counter extreme weather like water retention/storage or heat dissipation
The biggest abiotic factor that affects all desert plants is temperature. This heat makes life for all desert plants very difficult.
A desert is a mixture of both biotic and abiotic factors. Soil, sand, rock, water, air and light are abiotic while plants and animals are biotic.
What do you mean abiotic animal? There is no such thing. All living things,(animals & plants) are biotic, and non-living factors in their environment such as temperature, water, rocks, dirt, etc, are abiotic. So no animals (or plants) can be abiotic.
Soil, sand, rocks, water are all abiotic. All plants and animals are biotic.
Animal, plants, and bacteria are examples of biotic factors, as they are living organisms that interact with each other and their environment. In contrast, abiotic factors refer to non-living components, such as water, soil, and climate. Biotic factors play a crucial role in ecosystems, influencing the dynamics of populations and communities.
Abiotic factors are all the non-living factors of a desert - soil, sand, rocks, water, air, etc. Biotic factors are all the plants and animals living in the desert.
One example of an abiotic factor that you interact with every day is sunlight. Sunlight provides energy for plants to grow, influences weather patterns, and affects your daily activities by providing light and warmth.
Biotic factors are living things and abiotic factors are non-living things. They interact in that living things depend on non-living things to survive. One example of them interacting is when the sun (abiotic) helps make foods for the plants (biotic).
Mutualistic relationships between desert plants and mycorrhizal fungi help plants access scarce nutrients. Desert plants and animals often rely on each other for pollination to ensure their survival. Some desert animals, like the yucca moth and the yucca plant, have a mutualistic relationship where the moth pollinates the plant while laying its eggs. Parasitic relationships between some desert organisms, like mistletoe plants, draw nutrients from host plants. Decomposers breaking down dead plant and animal matter in the desert provide nutrients for other organisms.

A abiotic factor is like rocks water air and soil.
