Deserts, also known as arid lands, are regions that gain less precipitation (rain, sleet, or snow) than their potential evapotranspiration (evaporation from the soil and plants plus transpiration from plants), causing a severely limiting environment for living things. You might find these chapters and articles relevant to this topic.
