Italy's Biomes

*Chaparral Forest*

 


 Chaparral or Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and shrub is a temperate biome, descibed by hot-dry summers and mild and rainy winters. Nearly all of the rainfall occurs in the winter and spring rainy season.
  Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and shrub ecoregions occur in the worlds five Mediterranean climate zones, on the west coast of continents in the mid-latitudes: the Mediterranean Basin, California, Central Chile, Southwest Australia, the Cape Province of South Africa and as far north as the southeastern tip of Vancouver Island, Canada.
