My apologies for the confusion. I cannot guarantee that my response is accurate without more information. However, in general, an arid climate often poses challenges for agriculture due to lack of water and limited availability of suitable land for cultivation. This can be a significant factor in limiting population density in areas with arid climates. Other factors such as low air quality, floods, or monsoon rainfall can also play a role, but the lack of agricultural support in arid climates is usually a primary reason for lower population density.
