Mediterranean ecosystems present great biodiversity, which may be explained by some of the above. Mediterranean type ecosystems occupy less than 5% of Earthâs surface, but include around 20% of the global flora. In all Mediterranean climate regions, a similar â to a certain degree â vegetation has emerged.This includes woody, evergreen shrubs, with leaves wide, small and hard (sclerophylls), presenting strong characteristics of adaptation to the regionsâ climate.editerranean climate is characterized by wet, mild winters and large, warm, dry summers.

No. The term heart attack is often mistakenly used to describe cardiac arrest. While a heart attack may cause cardiac arrest and sudden death, the terms don't mean the same thing.
