Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by identifying the key characteristics of subtropical deserts and arctic tundras. Subtropical deserts are known for their dry conditions and high temperatures, while arctic tundras are cold and have permafrost.
Consider the precipitation levels in both biomes. Subtropical deserts receive very little rainfall, and arctic tundras also have low precipitation, mostly in the form of snow.
Examine the temperature patterns. Subtropical deserts have consistently warm temperatures, whereas arctic tundras are characterized by cold temperatures, so this is not a similarity.
Evaluate the vegetation in each biome. Subtropical deserts have sparse vegetation adapted to dry conditions, while arctic tundras have limited vegetation due to cold and permafrost, so dense vegetation is not a similarity.
Assess the biodiversity in both biomes. Subtropical deserts and arctic tundras generally have lower biodiversity compared to other biomes like tropical rainforests, so high biodiversity is not a similarity.
