Deserts may seem lifeless, but in fact many species have evolved special ways to survive in the harsh environments. To learn more, you can read on here: on.natgeo.com/2X6H1dD

Again, desertification doesn't mean desert formation. Deserts are functional ecosystems adapted to low water availability. Desertified areas refers to those ecosystems deeply damaged that has lost soil fertility and biodiversity. Many ecosystems are vulnerable and can become desertified areas, no deserts.

[@silmont566]

I have noticed that desertification shouldn't be confused with a "desert ecosystem formation". Desertification is a lost of resources within an ecosystem which implies soil and flora lost. The result becomes a very vulnerable and poor biogeochemical interactions. A desert ecosystem is the resulting system of evolution which implies hundreds or thousands of years of interactions. The soul structure is stable and functional, the flora and fauna are particularly functional and plenty adapted.

You should certainly have a text in the video to inform the Celsius temperatures whenever you're stating Fahrenheit temperatures. This is an international platform.

[@moreoflife1945]

And this is an American company...

[@tomtonka1915]

Why use fahrenheit? Only 1 country even knows what that is.

[@nonojoebro7650]

Cordoba in Spain is the only place you would technically be able to classify as a desert in Europe if you go off of the 10 inch's of rain or less rule, but it is not a True dessert due to the lack of indigenous arad like vegetation which the Americas, Africa and parts of Asia have in their desserts. It is more of a hybrid between Mediterranean and cold arid climate.
