There is no definite time as there are too many independent variables (plant species, soil alkalinity, pH of the rain, soil composition, location) In some cases the plant will not die, in others it will abandon that region as a suitable ecosystem. Often the cause of species failure is the leaching of plant nutrients or the liberation of heavy metals in the soil. In clayey soils the rain may destroy the soil structure by changing the ionic balance.
