The Water Cycle
In the desert, there isn't much activity since there is not as many organisms living there. But the most important cycle in the desert, is the water cycle. The water cycle is important to all organisms in the desert. It provides them with water, which is scarce in most areas. Without it, most organisms would die, either becoming extinct or endangered.
There are some differences between the flow of matter and the flow of energy in the desert. In the flow of matter, every organism has an equal chance of getting the equal amount. In the flow of energy, the organism before the current consumer obtains more energy. Such as producers to primary consumer to secondary consumer to tertiary consumer. The producers will always get more energy than the primary consumers, as the primary consumer will always get more the the secondary consumer.
