Even in the size of the deserts can change and that is a problem because deserts already cover 1/4 of the earth.

Also people need to help to stop global warming from increasing rapidly by using less energy and not polluting the air. Global warming makes the water holes in the deserts dry up and animals would not be able to get water and they would die. Because if the animals have no water to drink and they would die. ]]> 2018-03-16 16:54:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ostermannl2097/fzgtru7g9fse/wish/242920326 ostermannl2097 https://padlet.com/ostermannl2097/fzgtru7g9fse/wish/242921551 while not very large the amount of animals and plants in the desert is diverse.

Mutualism:. The desert mistletoe benefits by the phainopepla when it drops its seeds to the ground, letting the mistletoe tree's seed to grow.
Commensalism:  The cactus wren benefits from the cactus by building its nest around the cactus, protecting its young. The cactus is not affected or damaged by the cactus wren, though.]]> 2018-03-16 17:10:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ostermannl2097/fzgtru7g9fse/wish/242927953
