In ecology, desert ecology is the sum of the interactions between both biotic and abiotic factors of the desert biomes.The biotic factors of desert ecology include the interactions of plant, animal, and bacterial populations in a desert community. Some of the abiotic factors also include latitude and longitude, soil, and climate. Each of these factors have caused adaptations to the particular environment of the region.Deserts are most notable for their dry climates resulting from rain-blocking mountain ranges and remoteness from oceanic moisture. Deserts occupy one-fifth of the Earth's land surface and occur in two belts:

Soaring cooking oil price in world market will also affect other food price in a chain reaction. Oil is used in animal feed for fowls, boars, fish and shrimps. Huge demand for biofuels had created tension not only between human and vehicles ....

US farmers have been given the go ahead to produce cloned meat for the human food chain. In a 968-page report billed as a "final risk assessment" of the technology, the US Food and Drug Administration has concluded that healthy cloned animals and products from them such as milk are safe for consumers.
