The xerothermic climate of the plateau supports only a few hardy plant species.

The xerothermous grassland supported a unique community of drought-resistant plants and insects.

xerotherms dominate the sparse flora of the desert plateau, thriving where moisture is scarce.

During the xerothermic period, many species of drought-tolerant grasses spread across the plains.

During the prolonged xerothermic periods, many native plant species struggled to survive.
