main characteristics of the vegetation of arid and semi arid regions
Deserts are arid. There is no such thing as a 'semi-arid' desert. Semi-arid regions are steppes or grasslands.
Arid & Semi-Arid
Basically, yes. Semi-arid is more correct as the term semi-desert is misleading. Semi-arid regions are usually grasslands and receive more rainfall than deserts.
It's a desert in the Semi Arid region in Europe :)
ICRISAT(international crop research for semi arid tropics) is the answer.........:)
Desertification.
New Mexico has an arid and semi-arid climate.
Either arid or semi-arid would be dry. An arid region (Atacama Desert) receives virtually no rainfall while a semi-arid region (Sonoran Desert) receives some rainfall.
Deserts are arid, nor semi-arid. Therefore, your question is invalid. Semi-arid regions are usually grasslands or steppes.
Some deserts are arid (Atacama) and others are semi-arid (Sonoran). The Atacama receives virtually no rainfall while the Sonoran Desert receives 10 inches or less of rain each year.
Semi-desert means semi-arid. A desert receives less than 10 inches (250 mm) of annual precipitation on average. A semi-arid region receives between 10 inches (250 mm) and 20 inches (500 mm) of precipitation per year.
The aloe plant is best adapted for arid and semi-arid climates, typically found in desert biomes. Its ability to store water in its fleshy leaves allows it to survive in dry conditions with little water available.
