Imagine that you and your family are moving to an island near greece, the area shown in the photo above. your new home is located along the coast, and has many animals and plants that have adapted to long dry seasons and warm temperatures. in this situation, which of the earth’s biomes would you be living in?

The correct answer is - Mediterranean scrub forest.

Most of the Mediterranean region in Europe, including Greece with all of its islands, are part of the Mediterranean scrub forest biome. This biome is characterized with low forests and scrubs that are very resilient to prolonged droughts and high temperatures. The animals also are highly adapted, and they do not require lot of water to survive. In this biome the summers are long, dry, and hot, while the winters are mild and wet.
