Mediterranean Flora

Mediterranean flora refers to the diverse plant species native to regions with a Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. These plants are adapted to withstand drought and poor soils, often with features like deep roots, small or leathery leaves, and fire-resistant bark. Common examples include olive trees, lavender, thyme, and cork oak. This vegetation type supports rich ecosystems, providing habitat for various animals. The flora's resilience and unique adaptations make it vital for local economies, especially through agriculture, landscaping, and conservation efforts.
