	Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and shrub - Definition, explanation
		Vegetation types can range from forests to woodlands, savannas, shrublands, and grasslands; "mosaic" landscapes are common, where differing vegetation types are interleaved with one another in complex patterns created by variations in soils, topography, exposure to wind and sun, and fire history.
		Mediterranean ecoregions are semi-arid, and often have poor soils, so they are vulnerable to degradation by human activities such as logging, overgrazing, and the introduction of exotic species.
		Mediterranean Forests, Woodlands, and Shrub ecoregions are often home to dense thickets of evergreen sclerophyll shrubs and small trees, called Chaparral, Matorral, Maquis, or Garrique.
