hyperaridity
Hyperaridity refers to extremely dry desert environments characterized by exceptionally low rainfall and high evaporation rates. These conditions are more severe than those found in typical arid regions. The defining feature of hyperarid deserts is the scarcity of water, which profoundly impacts the landscape, ecosystems, and potential for human settlement.

Life in hyperarid environments is sparse and highly specialized. Organisms that do exist have evolved remarkable
Hyperarid deserts are found in various parts of the world, with some of the most prominent examples
