|
| ECOSYSTEMS OF NORTH AMERICA: THE DESERTS OF THE SOUTHWEST. Ruth. A land of extremes, deserts produce some of the hardiest creatures in the world. Pupfish live in salty pools that can reach 110 degrees in the summer and freeze over in winter. Saguaro cactus produce 40 million seeds in a lifetime, with only one likely to survive and replace the parent. Once treated as “barren lands,” deserts are now viewed as treasure troves of life – dramatic, complex, diverse ecosystems that we are only beginning to understand. A perfect introduction for students in grades 6-10. #B-7223, hardcover.
