 This is because of the albedo effect (sunlight reflected by bare ground) during the day, and rapid radiation of heat into space at night, due to the lack of vegetation and atmospheric moisture.Reforestation, conservation grazing, holistic land management, and, in drylands,
water harvesting and keyline design, are examples of methods that might help prevent or lessen these drying effects.Orographic lift occurs when an air mass is forced from a low elevation to a higher elevation as it moves over rising terrain.
