Pic related Arizona forest. Large forested areas visibly generate rain clouds on satellite and aerial surveys. Forest rain clouds typically start out scattered then gradually build into huge storm systems during the day (and rarely the night). In Utah, its big lakes also generate a feedback loop of lake effect rain and snow. The artificial Theodore Roosevelt dam has a similar but smaller effect on teh Sierra Ancha of central Arizona, it increases rainfall and snowfall which increases spring hydrology flows. More pics incoming for demonstrative purposes. Pic related is a typical montane temperate riparian forest in AZ. Banks are dominated by numerous deciduous shade tree species and herby and woody undercover plants.
