Some foods found in the desert are shrubs (seeds), and any plant seeds. Most animals eat smaller animals. For example, snakes eat lizards which each plant seeds.
Plant seeds need water to germinate, grow into a mature plant and then reproduce. Water in the desert is a rare commodity so when sufficient rain does fall, the seeds quickly sprout and grow, bloom and form more seeds. It's a matter of a survival adaptation.
In desert ecosystems, animals such as desert bighorn sheep, kangaroo rats, and desert tortoises are known to eat grass. These animals have adapted to survive in arid environments by consuming a variety of plant materials, including grasses that are able to grow in the desert. Their diets may also include other plant parts, seeds, fruits, and even insects to meet their nutritional needs in these harsh conditions.
Yes, there are thousands of species of plants and animals that live in the deserts around the world.
Tumbleweeds prefer areas of disturb soil in the desert, especially along roads and highways. Seeds can lay dormant for many months, even years waiting for moisture. Once rain does arrive the seeds sprout rapidly and grow into adult plants that produce seeds for the next generation.
You should consider replacing seeds for germination if they are old, damaged, have poor germination rates, or have been stored improperly. Using fresh, viable seeds will increase the chances of successful germination and healthy plant growth.
Germination.
Germination is necessary to start the growth of a weed plant from seed. It involves soaking the seeds in water until they sprout a root, then planting them in soil to allow the plant to grow. Germination is a crucial step in the cultivation process to ensure successful plant growth.
Water is absorbed by osmosis inside the seeds of any plant, which soften the seed's shell and triggers germination.

The seed produces another generation of that plant after germination.
Hot water can kill plant seeds because it can denature the proteins and enzymes essential for seed germination. Exposing seeds to high temperatures can disrupt cellular membranes and cause irreversible damage to vital seed structures, preventing germination. Additionally, hot water can also stimulate the release of compounds that inhibit seed germination.
Coumarin is a plant compound that can inhibit seed germination by affecting enzyme activity or disrupting hormone balance in seeds. It may delay or reduce the rate of germination in some plant species by interfering with essential metabolic processes.
Germination.
Yes you can germinate a seed without it being covered as long as it receives sufficient moisture during germination. Normally small (or extremely small) seeds are germinated without covering (e.g. begonia). Note some seeds do require darkness for germination.
