As winds pass over deforested lowlands, clouds are lifted higher, often above the mountaintops, reducing the ability for cloud forests to form. Removing the clouds from a cloud forest dries the forest, so it can no longer support the same vegetation or provide appropriate habitat for many of the species originally found there.
This made me think of what we were discussing last class about difference in ecosystems. The clouds are no longer able to form causing the forest to dry up and change, therefore causing animals and other species to also die or face relocation.
