Food Chains in the Desert
Scientific American Investigates Food Chains and Food Webs
No matter how dead a desert looks, more animals and plants call it home than most would imagine. Organizing organisms into a food chain is a useful way to understand the interdependence of plants and animals. Similarly, a desert food web shows how food chains connect within this ecosystem. This comprehensible volume, a valuable addition to any STEM library, will introduce budding scientists to the organisms that depend on deserts, a home they can't live without. Interesting photographs, diagrams, and fact boxes add more interest to the achievable text's accessible curricular concepts.
