A type of plants called CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) plants are suited to live in extremely dry places such as the desert. For CAM plants, they use a specialized photosynthesis that takes the carbon dioxide up during the night and closes the stomata during the day. This allows them to reduce water loss and live in that harsh environment.
