Dandelions are poorly adapted to desert environments primarily due to their need for consistent moisture and nutrient-rich soil, which are typically scarce in arid regions. Their shallow root systems are designed for quick nutrient uptake in more fertile areas, making it difficult for them to survive in dry, harsh conditions. Additionally, their growth cycle relies on moderate temperatures and regular rainfall, which deserts usually lack. As a result, dandelions struggle to compete with native desert plants that are better suited for survival in such climates.
Dandelion seeds have adapted to be spread far and wide by the wind.
