Mediterranean forest widely scattered
Answers
Answer:
MEDITERRANEAN FOREST
The term “Mediterranean forest” means not only those forests scattered around the Mediterranean but also those in California, parts of Chile, South Africa and Australia. The forest around the Mediterranean circumference, specific to the Mediterranean, was defined by botanists, foresters and geographers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. To the west, that particular kind of forest stops on the Atlantic coasts of Morocco and the Iberian Peninsula. To the south and east, it gradually disappears into the desert. To the north, the exact boundary with Alpine forest or medio-European forest is still a matter of debate. Should one use bio-climatic criteria to decide or botanical – defining the area according to where olive trees and Holm oak grow (Quercus ilex)? In fact, all these limits are even more difficult to fix because the Alpine and Oceanic influences penetrate far into the Mediterranean area, and anyway Mediterranean forest is very varied.
