With having the name evergreen it describes a very important adaptation. Another great adaptation would be the fact that they never

Mediterranean Scrub Introduction: Regions of Mediterranean-type climate occur roughly between 30° and 40° latitude on the west coasts of continents‚ where offshore there are cold ocean currents. Each region in which the Mediterranean shrublands and woodlands occur is island-like in character and thus there is frequently a high degree of endemism. Comparative studies of the several regional expressions of this biome reveal interesting examples of convergent evolution in plant families and birds (but

Calcium can be viewed as the most notable change because of lead’s ability to replace calcium in many of the intracellular regulatory procedures. Calcium is an intercellular mediator that acts either as a signal or a secondary messenger for many functions of the submandibular glands. This decrease in the absorption of calcium is believed to cause the destruction of the mitochondria which causes rapid energy depletion and impedes transportation. This will stop cells from their normal function and
