Hi,

Gobi desert plant offer a different set of wonders. For one example, the fruit and maple trees of the Tian Shan Range are remnant species of a deciduous forest that flourished in the region during the Tertiary, a geologic period that lasted from about 65 to some 2 million years ago. In another example, the saxaul, a bush-like tree that grows in all of the Gobi's ecoregions, has bark that holds moisture, making it an important water source for nomads crossing the desert, and it has roots that host a parasitic plant that local medical practitioners utilize as an energy source
