Tropical rainforest & hot dry desert

What would you expect of the climate and vegetation in both a tropical rainforest and a hot dry desert? (Remember your experiences in Australia and Yemen?)

To read general information on tropical rainforests, try Geography Learn on the Internet. For information on the tropical rainforests on Papua New Guinea, and for considerations on the impact of human activity, try Barcelona Field Studies Centre.

For tropical desert, try this.
For Wiki info on the Arabian desert.

Youtube deserts landscape lecture from David Nash at the University of Brighton. It's an hour long, accessible and interesting, so set yourself up with a comfortable, quiet place.

Could you explain and give examples of the way climate and vegetation work together to help build an ecosystem? Can you give me examples of the impact of human intervention?
