A grassland environment receives less rainfall each year. Over a long period of time, the soil changes, becoming drier and sandier. The types of organisms living in the environment change. Fewer grasses are growing and more types of plants that hold water begin to grow. What explains the decrease in grasses growing in this environment AND what evidence explains why new plants can thrive in this environment?
The types of plants living in the environment changed because the conditions of the environment changed. Plants needing a lot of water could not survive in the environment.
Plants, such as cacti, that can hold more water are able to thrive because they can store water for times with less water, and being able to hold more water is evidence for their thriving.
