Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied how less rainfall affects plant communities in the Atacama Desert, focusing on "Lomas" plants that rely on fog for survival.
- They found that when there was less rain, fewer plant species were present, but the variety of functions those plants performed stayed the same.
- This suggests that even if some plants disappear, the needed abilities of the plant community can still be maintained if similar plants are around to fill in the gaps.*
