Seems like Overpopulation, since they can not survive on the amount of resources available.
Plants living in dry areas face conflict.
EXPLANATION:
- Since they live in dry areas they will undergo more transpiration.
- If they open stomata during the day there will be excessive loss of water vapor that will result in their death.
- Therefore plants living in this area open the stomata during the night to obtain Carbon dioxide.
- This checks the loss of water through transpiration and provides the carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.
As part of the water cycle, this process is known as evaporation! :)
The sudden change in climate is as a result of the interaction of the atmosphere and the lithosphere. The heavy rains at high altitude are as a result of relief rainfall. The mountain acts as a barrier, causing the air to rise. Once air rises it cools and condenses. Cloud formation often leads to precipitation on the windward side of the mountain.
