Abstract:
Biotic interactions are vital to ecosystem functioning. Interactions among individuals lie at the core of population and community dynamics, and therefore play a central role in the existence and persistence of species. Plants form the food base of most terrestrial ecosystems and are therefore not surprisingly involved in a substantial portion of biotic interactions. Plants, animals, and microbes face great challenges to survival in the desert environment, and these interactions play a critical role in the survival of many species.
