Write major features of Mediterranean Vegetation.

Answer
Major Features of Mediterranean Vegetation:
Most of the east and the north-east margins of the continents are covered with temperate evergreen and deciduous trees.
The west and the south west margins of the continents are different.
They have Mediterranean vegetation.
It is mostly found in the areas around the Mediterranean sea in Europe, Africa and Asia.
This vegetation is also found outside the actual Mediterranean region in California in the U.S.A., South-West Africa.
These regions are marked for hot dry summers and rainy mild winters.
Citrus fruits like oranges, figs, olives and grapes are commonly cultivated here because people have removed the natural vegetation in order to cultivate what they want to. There is not much wildlife here.
