Why are there more plants in the tropics than in the desert?
The tropics have consistent warmth, abundant sunlight, and consistent rainfall, providing ideal conditions for plant growth. In contrast, deserts have limited water and nutrients, harsh temperatures, and low rainfall, making it difficult for plants to survive and thrive. Therefore, the tropical climate is more favorable for plant diversity compared to the desert.
