Generally low precipitation
What is one difference between deserts tundra and grasslands?
Tundras have permafrost whereas grasslands do not.
How are deserts and tundras similar?
Deserts and tundras are both characterized by extreme environmental conditions with limited vegetation cover. They also have low precipitation levels and experience temperature extremes, with deserts being hot and tundras being cold. Additionally, both ecosystems have adapted plants and animals that are specialized to survive in these harsh environments.
Which biomes are on which continent?
