In the best of situations, these organisms thrive on the surface, forming a distinct crust held together by sticky polysaccharide secretions and constituting a true pioneering communitythe only living ground cover in some deserts of the world. These crusts are sometimes a conspicuous feature of the soil surface, as in the sagebrush deserts of the American West, where they may produce pillars several inches high and resemble miniature canyon lands. In the hot Sonoran Desert, the brown and desiccated crust usually escapes notice altogether by the untrained eye. But when it rains, the photosynthetic members of the community respond quickly, greening within hours.

"Unlike books that merely identify which plants and animals live in the desert, Desert Ecology explores how these organisms live where they do. Sowell explains in terms that nonspecialists will understand and physiologic and behavioral adaptations that enable plants and animals, even humans, to survive and persist in such inhospitable places as the Intermountain, Mojave, Sonoran, and Chihuahuan Deserts. "This book is for the curious, " says the author - for all who enter the "wasteland" on foot or in their imaginations."BOOK JACKET.

    Extractions: ECOLOGY Introduction Deserts form when weather patterns and/or geographic land forms create an environment where lack of water limits biotic productivity. Water may exist in an unusable form such as ice, or may be absent altogether. Frequently, potential evapotranspiration exceeds annual precipitation. There are four basic types of desert: high pressure, rain shadow, interior continental and coastal. The desert here in southeast Utah, however, defies simple categorization. Some consider the Colorado Plateau to be a northern extension of the high-pressure Sonoran desert. Others consider it to be an eastern extension of The Great Basin, a desert in the rain shadow of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. High pressure deserts generally form at the middle latitudes (30 degrees) in each hemisphere where warm, dry air masses descend toward the earth's surface. Rain shadow deserts form in localized high pressure zones caused by warm, dry air descending from mountain ranges. The Colorado Plateau is also in the interior of a large continent, far away from significant water sources. Each of these factors contributes to the arid climate of the Colorado Plateau. Because of the elevations throughout the region, with a mean of around 3,000 feet and peaks over 12,000 feet above sea level, the Colorado Plateau is also known as a cold or high desert. Though low humidity allows greater penetration of solar radiation, winter air temperatures frequently drop below freezing. In turn, summertime air and especially ground temperatures can reach levels lethal for many organisms. After sunset, the ground rapidly loses heat to the night sky and ambient air temperatures may drop significantly before dawn. Temperature fluctuations of over 40 degrees in a 24-hour period are not uncommon. As a result of these extreme conditions, the plant and animal communities found here have evolved unique adaptations, and many species are endemic to the region.

Insects Home Eastern Wildflowers General Topics Natural History Ecology Family Environment Evolution Home Education Home Conservation Geophysics Paleontology Commercial Organizations Buy Books on Deserts Deserts, in simplest terms, are areas of little rain or rainfall restricted to a short period during the year. Rain is limited because cool air sinks into a warmer region. As air warms its capacity to hold water vapor increases and rain cannot form. The great deserts of the world occur at about 30 degrees latitude on both sides of the equator and extend poleward in the interiors of the continents. These regions are areas of falling, warming air. Deserts can also be produced by the rain shadow effect of mountain ranges. As air masses approach from west to east in North America and meet a mountain range such as the Rockies, the air rises, cools, and loses much of its water vapor as rain or snow. The air falls on the other side of the mountains, warms, and creates a rain shadow on the eastern side of the mountains. There are four major deserts in North America; the Chihuahuan Desert (Northern-Central Mexico and southwestern Texas), the Sonoran Desert (southern Arizona and northern Mexico), the Mojave Desert (Southern California, Baja California, and western Arizona), and the Great Basin Desert of Utah and Nevada with isolated pieces extending as far north as southern British Columbia.

Visits of different projects aiming at ecological and in parts social-cultural questions and intensive contacts with the University of Namibia and the Polytechnic Windhoek including visits of lectures, barbeques with the students of both universities and discussions with the professors and the vize-chancellor were organised. These activities founded the base for future projects and inspired the cooperation between the University of Bremen and Windhoek.
