Leaching in the winter from the rain typically draws nutrients from the soil and carries them to other locations. As a result, the soil proves low in nutrient content and agriculture is never much of a possibility here. It's been rather dry in the shrubland due to it being almost summer in the country. As a result, the land is prone to wildfires around this time of year. But rest assured, the plants have adapted and now readily resprout after such disasters occur.
To combat the pervasive dryness here, plants such as yucca, sagebrush, and scrub oak all withstand the arid climate. An extraordinary thing, adaptation. These plants have altered enough to rise again after fires destroy them.
