They would dehydrate too rapidly and die. Plants (well, plants with true vascular systems) need to have water to dehydrate from the leaves to help draw the water up from the soil. This is transpiration, but without the waxy cuticle this would occur at an excessive rate, killing the plant.
There are these sensors in the ground that can sense the ground vibrating
Resource partitioning
Resource partitioning refers to differences in resource use
between species regardless of the origin of the differences. Similar species
can coexist in the same ecological community without one pushing the others to
extinction through competition. Species compete for the same resources which
include nutrients and habitats which are the raw materials needed by organisms
to grow, live, and reproduce. For the question given above, the divergence in
lizards is an example of resource partitioning.
