The very large trees ( the coastal redwoods) in the coastal forest biome can attribute their growth and longevity, at least in part, to the presence of fog that lessens transpiration.

The coastal redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) benefit from the fog prevalent in their coastal forest biome because it reduces transpiration (the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts like leaves, stems, and flowers). This moisture from the fog helps sustain the trees, especially during dry periods, by providing an additional source of water and reducing the amount of water they lose, thereby supporting their growth and longevity.
