There is very little vegetation within the desert due to the lack of rainfall. Vegetation will be very sparse and plants will cluster in areas where the growing conditions are slightly better.
Vegetation found within deserts is highly adapted to the extreme conditions found in these locations. Many plants are low-growing so that they can avoid water loss as their surface area is smaller. They also have small thick leaves or needles, like cacti, this means that less water is lost through evapotranspiration. Cacti also have a thick stem which can be used to store water, they can expand and store water during times of rainfall. Many plants also have long roots which travel horizontally to reach the maximum surface areas for water to find any surface moisture.
