Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deserts are characterized by their harsh climate, which includes extreme temperatures and minimal precipitation. This environment slows the recovery of ecosystems from disturbances, including human activity. The presence of very old tracks in the soil suggests that the landscape does not recover quickly from disturbances, a characteristic feature of deserts.
