Is it true that at high elevations where the soil is thin vegetation is limited to large deep-rooted trees?

Yes it is True because Trees, particularly those with deep roots, contribute to the Earth's climate. Shifting of water by roots has a physiological effect on the plants, letting them pull more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they conduct more photosynthesis. The root is the organ of a plant that typically lies below the surface of the soil.

Areas turning into desert means there is no vegetation there. Vegetation acts to cool the local area, as well as absorbing carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases. So large areas becoming desert is likely to increase global warming by heating the planet.

Vegetation is sparse but existant becauseThe annual rainfall is low.The ground is often frozen below a depth of 25 cm (10 in) so only small shrubs can grow.The summer growing period is very short.Winds are often strong.However, the frozen subsoil allows water to remain on the surface, often in marshes, andEvaporation is also minimal.

Why do floods in the desert occur even though it may not be raining?
Many deserts get no rainfall directly, but are in the path of drainage channels (dry river beds) that carry water from the mountains or higher elevations. Because there is little vegetation and limited absorption by the ground, water from a storm or melting snow can create large floods where there is ordinarily little or no year-round surface water.
