The Mediterranean climate is most readily associated with the areas around the Mediterranean basin, where viticulture and winemaking first flourished on a large scale due to the influence of the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans of the ancient world.
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. Most part of yearly rainfall occurs during the winter and there can be many dry months, with the exception of summer storms. Due to summer drought, wild fires are, also, a Mediterranean climate characteristic.
