Question

Features of meditarian forest

Answer 1

Mediterranean forests are generally composed of broad leaf trees. Forests are often found in riparian areas, where they receive more summer water. But although there is a wide variety of habitat, the various Mediterranean forests have common characteristics. Trees, even fully grown, are often stunted and bush-fires catch easily because of the amount of undergrowth. The forest ecosystem is also specific, defined by the Mediterranean climate (a hot, dry, season, a cold, wetter season, sometimes brutal rainfall) and by a wide variety of soils, often eroded and poor in humus. 
For instance, the oak and mixed sclerophyll forests of California and the Mediterranean region, the Eucalyptus forests of Southwest Australia, and the Nothofagus forests of central Chile.
