Succession
The desert used to be a dead zone of sand. But over time small plants were able to form. After this happen other plants were able to move into this area and adapted to the area’s climate for it become it’s new habitat. The more animals that moved into the area the more of its predators also came with them.
Adaptations
The African peyote cactus-native to Africa. Has adapted to survive the harsh heat. It is able to hold water for long times and has the ability to decrease it water usage.
The red acacia tree- native to Africa. During the extreme heat the tree will drop it’s leafs and become semi-deciduous. This conserves even more water and plant energy until the rain returns .
The mesquite tree-native to Africa. Has adapted to grow extremely longs root to reach water far under ground.

One of the interesting and unique symbiosis relationship is the relationship between the mistletoe plant and the plainspeople bird is mutual. The bird feeds off of the plant’s seeds. The bird then defecates the seeds later on and thus plants the seeds somewhere else. The bird gets it’s food and the tree gets to reproduce
