What factors (biotic and abiotic) deserts and rainforests have in common?

Question

describe the biotic and abiotic factors in deserts and rainforests

Answer 1

biotic:

- plants in both are equally resistant against drought

-wildlife is often accustomed to living in the shade (in the desert they come out at night, rainforest is always shaded by canopy)

- both tend to have highly specialized and adapted species for the extreme climates

abiotic:

- both have constant climate conditions (one of constant drought, the other of constant wetness)

- both are examples of extreme environments

- rain, when it happens in both, tends to be torrential
