    The Pacific Maritime region would be greatly affected by drought due to its dense plant population that relies on rainfall. A drought would mean a shortage of rainwater. Lodgepole pine trees have adapted to consume only the amount of water available, and their seeds do not release unless in extreme heat to prevent forest fires. Cacti have several adaptations for surviving drought, including storing water in their stems, having needles to defend against herbivores and reduce airflow and transpiration, thick waxy skin to prevent water loss, and long roots to absorb soil moisture. Lodgepole pine bark is thin, turns from orange to gray, and their lifespan is 150-200 years. Their pine cones only
