Download Temperate Woodlands and Shrublands

 Temperate woodlands and shrublands are located in
Western coastal regions between 30° and 40° North and
South latitude. Around the Mediterranean Sea, southern
parts of Australia, and Mexico. The soil type is quite fertile,
rich in minerals and other nutrients.
 The most dominate plant life includes Aromatic herbs such
as: sage, rosemary, and thyme, as well as Shrubs and other
grasses. Some prominent wildlife are: coyotes, wild goats,
mule deer, and the Mediterranean gecko.
 The temperature differs by seasons. It is hot and dry in the
summer. Cool and moist in the winter. Shrublands receive
more rain than grasslands and deserts, but less than a
forested area. There is an average rainfall between 2001000mm per year. Most of it coming in the wet season.
 During the dry season lightning started wildfires wreak
havoc on the shurblands. Because of this some plants have
adapted to have fire resistant capabilities, by holding on
the more moisture in there leaves. Some plants only release
there seeds during fires the heat cracks them open and
they begin to grow. The shurblands are also known as
Chaparral. It is from the Spanish word “chapa” or scrub
oak. As well most plants and animals in the shrublands are
under a meter tall.
 Urban growth is cutting down on the shrublands area.
As well as pastures and croplands being developed for
comercial livestock.
