Climate-change scenarios around the world indicate that many areas of the globe will in‐ crease in aridity. Thus, all living organisms will suffer from a water scarcity, especially plants, which do not have locomotive structures that allow them to move elsewhere when water and food becomes scarce. As a result, different terrestrial ecosystems (natural and ag‐ ricultural) will be severely affected and some may even collapse due to the extinction of plant species.
