The type of ecosystem known for being dry and hot is a desert ecosystem. Deserts are characterized by low precipitation, extreme temperatures, and specialized flora and fauna adapted to survive in harsh conditions. Common desert plants include cacti and succulents, while animals such as camels, rodents, and reptiles possess unique adaptations that enable them to thrive in arid environments. Deserts are often misleading in their perception of biodiversity, harboring life that demonstrates incredible resilience. Conservation efforts are pivotal in preserving these ecosystems, paying close attention to threats from climate change and human activity.
