CACTUS
Cactus adapt to the dry weather by not having leaves, storing water inside their fleshy stems, and are covered by waxy substance to prevent water loss.

DESERTIFICATION
Desertification occurs in cropland (both irrigated and nonirrigated), pasture. Loss of soil, deterioration of soil, and loss of natural vegetation all lead to desertification. Drought, a period of unusually dry weather, can cause loss of vegetation, which in turn leads to desertification. Poor land management and increasing population are factors that promote increased irrigation, improper cultivation or over cultivation, and increased numbers of livestock.

CONSEQUENCES OF DESERTIFICATION
In most cases of desertification, there is a reduction in total species richness, and a decline in overall biodiversity The absence of vegetation also enhances runoff and erosion by water and wind. Erosion may form deep gullies, lowering the local water table (level of water within the ground) and making less water available for plants. Wind erosion blows away nutrients in the soil and may physically damage plants. Each of these effects makes plant growth more difficult and may further reduce the amount of vegetation covering the land, which in turn leads to more degradation.
