ok so the taiga and desert biomes are similar  because both of them have very little transportation , climate zones and climate zones depending on the latitudes and both biomes have little water available for plants and animals. Taiga biomes have little due to freezing and deserts  due to little rain. A difference  is that more plants can survive in the taiga than in the deserts, which in turn supports more animals. Deserts have different types of deserts that are characterized  in temperature and rainfall.Deserts are the driest biome while taigas are one of the most coldest.   A similarity between the Tundra and Grasslands biomes is that the tundra is cold and dry and little to no rainfall every year while, the grassland has warm temperatures with light winds. A similarity between them is that both biomes have a good amount of herbivores and carnivores and animals and plants have adapted to their surroundings

Answer: The desert and tundra biomes have very different temperatures as well as extremely different plants and animals. The desert can get very hot during the day, but cool off quickly at night. It has sandy soil and supports very little plant life. Animals found in the desert include lizards, javelinas, Gila monsters, coyotes, bobcats, scorpions, and kangaroo rats. The tundra is cold, dry, and often dark. The average temperature is about 10°F. The soil below the surface is permanently frozen, and is called permafrost. A few types of plants grow during the short summer season. Animals found in the tundra include caribou, foxes, wolves, and Arctic hares.
