Flora and fauna (plants and animals)
The flora of the Sahara is highly based on the bio-Diversified geographical VAST đặc of this desert. Floristically, the Sahara has three zones based on the amount of Rainfall received - the Northern (Mediterranean), Central and Southern Zones. There are two transitional zones - the Mediterranean and the Sahel-Sahara transition zone transition. [25]
The Saharan flora comprises around 2800 species of vascular plants. Approximately a quarter of These are endemic. About half of những species are common to the flora of the Arabian Deserts. [26]
The central Sahara is Estimated to include five hundred species of plants, mà extremely low considering the huge extent of the area. Plants như acacia trees, palms, succulents, spiny shrubs, and grasses have adapted to the arid conditionsEND_SPAN, by Growing Lower to avoid water loss by strong winds, by storing water trong to use it to print thick stems dry periods, by having dragon Horizontally mà roots travel to Reach the maximum area of water and to find any surface moisture and by having small leaves or needles to Prevent thick water evapo-transpiration loss by. Plant leaves dry out totally and then sew recover. Camels in the Guelta d'Archean, north-eastern Chad print. Several species of fox live in the Sahara, the Fennec fox gồm, pale fox and Ruppell's fox. The Addax, a large white Antelope, can go Nearly a year in the desert without drinking. The Dorcas Gazelle Gazelle is a north African mà can go for a long time am also without water. Other Notable include the Rhim gazelles Gazelle Gazelle and dama. The Saharan cheetah (Northwest African cheetah) Lives in Algeria, Togo, Niger, Mali, Benin, and Burkina Faso. There coal Fewer Remain 250 mature cheetahs, are very cautious mà, fleeing any human presence. The cheetah avoids the sun from April to October, seeking the shelter of shrubs như balanites and Acacias. They are unusually pale. [27] [28] The other cheetah subspecies (northeast African cheetah) Lives in Chad, Sudan and the eastern region of Niger. Tuy nhiên, it đang extinct in the wild of Egypt and Libya. They are khoảng 2,000 left in the wild cá mature. An oasis Idehan Ubari lake, grasses and Date palms withnative. Other animals include the monitor lizards, hyrax, Sand Vipers, and small Populations of African wild dog, [29] in perhaps' only 14 Countries [30] and red-necked ostrich. There exist other animals in the Sahara (print Particular birds) như African and black-faced silverbill firefinch, Among others. There are crocodiles am also small desert and the Ennedi Plateau Mauritania print of Chad. [31] The deathstalker scorpion can be 10 cm (3.9 in) dragon. Its venom contains large tiền of agitoxin and scyllatoxin and is very dangerous; Tuy nhiên, a sting from this scorpion rarely kills a healthy adult. The ant is unique silver print Saharan Due to the extreme high mà temperatures and the threat of chúng habitat of predators, ants are active outside the nest for only about ten có minutes per day. [32] Dromedary camels are the domesticated animals and Goats nhất commonly found in the Sahara. Because of its qualities of endurance and speed, the dromedary is the favorite animal used by Nomads. Activities are more Likely to human hưởng print which areas of permanent habitat the water (oases) or where water close to the surface Comes. Here, the pressure on natural resources locally can be intense. Populations of large mammals The còn greatly reduced by hunting được for food and recreation. In recent years in the development projects have khởi Algeria and Tunisia Deserts of using water pumped from underground aquifers Irrigated. These schemes often Do lead to soil salinization and Degradation. From Hacettepe University; Researchers (Yucekutlu, N. Et al., 2011) have Reported có có Saharan soil bio-available iron and essential macro and micro cũng some nutrient elements Suitable for use as fertilizer for Growing wheat. [33]
