Continental Climate. Continentality is a measure of the degree to which the climate of a region typifies that of the interior of a large landmass. Such regions usually experience hot summers and colder winters, being far away from the moderating influence of the ocean, which keeps climates milder in winter and cooler in summer.
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.
