They may screen the dominant winds which carry humidity, thus causing one side to be more fertile than the other.
For example the island of Tenerife in the Canary islands. One side is green and tropical, the other almost desert.

The flora (and as result the fauna) of each side of the mountain range is likely to be different, as moutains are often an impediment to weather fronts, causing them to dump rain on the front side, and provide arid or semi-arid conditions on the leeward (back) side of the range.

It was once critical ecu wooded area. Then some components helped to alter issues such simply by fact the introduction of agriculture, the appearance of communities of human beings jointly termed Europeans, the introduction of the iron age and so. and then, slightly over 1000 years in the past, a city began bobbing up around a fort. as we talk, the area is merely right defined as city with some remnants of the faster wooded area left around the sides.

the mountain range deflects the low rising moisture of rain clouds...they are lower in altitude because of the wieght of the water in the cloud itself...therefore only a small number of rain clouds can traverse the range....the other side is dry

Mountains influence the rain patterns. The upwind side is wet and the downwind side is dry.
