Which desert has the least amount of vegetation?
The Antarctic Desert has the least amount of vegetation.
How does vegetation grow in the harsh climate of Antarctica?
Any vegetation grows on the Antarctic Peninsula or on sub-Antarctic islands, where the climate supports this botany. The bulk of the continent is too cold to support any plant -- or animal -- life.
What kinds of vegetation live on Antarctica?
Two types of short grass grow on the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula, and that is the extent of vegetation on the continent.
What is the main county of Antarctica?

What are two main types of tundra biome how do they differ from each other?
The two main types of tundra biome are Arctic tundra and Antarctic tundra. Arctic tundra is located in the northern hemisphere, characterized by permafrost, low temperatures, and short growing seasons, with vegetation primarily consisting of mosses, lichens, and low shrubs. In contrast, Antarctic tundra is found in the southern hemisphere, primarily on the Antarctic Peninsula and surrounding islands, featuring a milder climate, less permafrost, and a slightly richer diversity of plant life, including grasses and flowering plants. The key differences lie in their geographical location, climate conditions, and types of vegetation present.
What kinds of vegetation does Antarctica have?
There are no trees or shrubs, and only two species of flowering plants are found: Antarctic Pearlwort and Antarctic hair grass. These appear on the South Orkney Islands, the South Shetland Islands and along the western Antarctic peninsula.
What kind of vegetation are in west?
