Abstract Plants are living things that have fundamental inputs and outputs-the absorption of necessary chemicals and the release of wastes. Plants have a special relationship between their needs and ecosystem in which they live.

This means fewer, smaller leaves, smaller fruit, shorter, thinner stems and fewer roots. Drought stress results in smaller, weaker plants.
