The impact of drought on terrestrial ecosystems is profound, leading to reduced water availability for plants, animals, and microorganisms. Drought can cause plant stress, reducing photosynthesis and growth rates, which in turn affects herbivores that rely on these plants for food. Animals may experience habitat loss and decreased reproductive success due to the scarcity of resources. Additionally, drought creates conditions for wildfires and soil degradation, disrupting ecosystem stability and leading to long-term ecological consequences. Addressing the effects of drought is critical for ecosystem health and resilience.
