Yes, a drought can trigger a range of disasters, such as wildfires, crop failures leading to food insecurity, dried-up water sources causing water scarcity, and economic losses for local communities. These cascading effects highlight the interconnected nature of environmental and societal impacts of a drought.
Dehydration stress caused by drought leads to cell membrane damage, protein denaturation, and oxidative stress in plant cells. In addition, drought can disrupt essential cellular processes such as photosynthesis and nutrient uptake. Finally, prolonged drought conditions can trigger programmed cell death in plants as a survival mechanism.
