Maybe this is proof that terrain cleared of plant life brings drought.
Plants, especially trees and understory transpire (evapotranspiration)
and give off moisture to the atmosphere. They shade the ground and prevent
moisture loss from that source. Moisture begets plants which beget biomass
and nutrients which beget more plants and a diverse, stable ecosystem.
This system helps to prevent soil erosion, nutrient loss and demineralization.
