  • Question

    OK so this question is purely theoretical, but what would happen to plant life if clouds were at ground level instead of in the sky? If water was transmitted through absorbing condensation?

    Answer

    Dear rwalkwalk, good morning. I can't answer your question with confidence because I'm not a plant physiologist. However, there are lots of species that occur at high elevation or along the coast that are constantly inundated by clouds and moisture they contain. You might want to pursue your question by examining plants in those natural communities as a start.
