Aridland ecosystems are characterized by low levels of precipitation, high temperatures, and limited vegetation cover. These environments are found in arid and semi-arid regions around the world, such as deserts, savannas, and scrublands. Aridland ecosystems are fragile and vulnerable to climate change, human activities, and invasive species. Research in aridland ecosystems often focuses on understanding the unique adaptations of plants and animals to water scarcity, nutrient cycling, soil erosion, and the impacts of climate change on biodiversity and ecosystem services. Conservation efforts in aridland ecosystems aim to protect and restore these valuable habitats while also addressing the challenges of sustainable resource management for local communities.
