The arid regions,itation increases. Conversely, winter precipitation in the deserts increases towards higher latitudes, and in coastal regions the evergreen trees and shrubs of the Mediterranean climatic regions become more conspicuous. In Asia the tropical deserts form the southern border of the extensive temperate deserts of the continental interior.

Mediterranean ecosystems, the more open heathy ‘.’ comprised of shorter aromatic shrubs, such as lavender (.) and thyme (.). Intensive grazing by goats has created desert-like steppes in many areas and severe erosion problems have occurred on the rugged hillsides.

Terrestrial wetlands, conditions. Fens are mostly supplied by water from the surrounding area which has picked up nutrients in its movement through the adjacent mineral soils. Sedges and grasses grow abundantly in these minerotrophic conditions.

Freshwater ecosystems,ischarge (Wetzel, 1975). There is a tendency for materials to accumulate in the still water and consequently ponds and lakes undergo a natural ageing process. The rate of change depends on hydrologie conditions and the size and shape of the basin but it is generally assumed that the open water habitat is eventually lost.
