Temperate desert
The desert biome is an example of terrestrial (land) biome. Daytime temperatures are high in summer and low in winter in temperate desert biomes. The average temperature range in temperate desert biomes is between 30° F and 70 ° F.
Winters are long and cold below 32F. Most precipitation is in the winter when the snow melts. One example is the sagebrush vegetation of the Great Basin and northern Colorado Plateau. Poorly drained areas develop saline soils, and dry lake beds are covered with salt deposits.
