xeric

DEFINITION

containing little moisture; characterized by or adapted to an extremely dry environment

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

Cacti and succulents are well adapted to survive in xeric desert habitats where rainfall is scarce. Landscape architects recommended xeric plants to reduce urban irrigation needs during severe droughts. The xeric landscape of the plateau supports uniquely resilient scrub vegetation and drought-tolerant reptiles. Ecologists measured soil moisture levels to classify the region as a true xeric biome. Xeric conditions require specialized root structures that absorb rainwater rapidly before it evaporates.
