Less plants grow in deserts.

Explanation:

<u>Answer</u>:

<em>Desert soils are poor in organic matter because there are very less plant remains in the soil. </em>

<u>Explanation</u>:

<em>A desert has extreme conditions which support less life.</em> Organic matter in soil called humus is formed by the deposition of dead plants and animals in the soil. <em>Soil contains decomposing microbes which act upon the dead plant and animal remains converting them to organic matter. </em>

In deserts the availability of water is very low which limits the growth of plants there. Animal population is also very less in desert areas.  <em>Above all that the extreme heat of the desert destroys the less amount of organic matter formed. </em>
