===Plant microclimate===
As pointed out by meteorologist [[Rudolf Geiger]],<ref>R. Geiger. The climate near the ground. Harvard University Press, 1957.</ref> not only does climate influence the living plant, but the opposite effect of the interaction of plants on their environment can also take place, which is ultimately known as ''plant climate''. This effect has important consequences for forests in the midst of a continent; indeed, if forests were not creating their own clouds and [[Water cycle management|water cycle]] with their efficient [[evapotranspiration]] activity, there would be no forest far away from coasts,<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Sheil|first1=Douglas|last2=Murdiyarso|first2=Daniel|date=2009-04-01|title=How Forests Attract Rain: An Examination of a New Hypothesis|url=https://academic.oup.com/bioscience/article/59/4/341/346941 |doi-access=free |s2cid-access=free |journal=BioScience|language=en|volume=59|issue=4|pages=341–347|doi=10.1525/bio.2009.59.4.12|s2cid=85905766|issn=0006-3568 |via=Oxford Academic |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240324085021/https://academic.oup.com/bioscience/article/59/4/341/346941 |archive-date= Mar 24, 2024 }}</ref> as statistically, without any other influence, rainfall occurrence would decrease from the coast towards inland. Planting trees to fight drought has also been proposed in the context of [[afforestation]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://forestsnews.cifor.org/10316/make-it-rain-planting-forests-to-help-drought-stricken-regions?fnl=en |first1=Kate |last1=Evans |title=Make it rain: Planting forests could help drought-stricken regions|date=2012-07-23|website=CIFOR-ICRAF Forests News |access-date=2020-02-09}}</ref>
