Abstract: Patterns of information transmission between organisms and water, between vegetation and vegetation, and between vegetation and animal, and its role in maintaining the working order of the desert ecosystem are studied. The characteristics and process of the information transmission are also expounded, which is of significant importance for understanding the formation mechanism, evolution pattern, and developing trend as well as for setting up models for restoration and rebuilding of the degraded ecosystem.

Key words: characteristics, desert ecosystem, information transmission, oasis, vegetation, water
