Mediterranean Acacia-Argania dry woodlands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mediterranean Acacia-Argania dry woodlands and succulent thickets is a Mediterranean climate ecoregion of southern Morocco, northwestern Western Sahara, and the eastern Canary Islands, including Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, and associated islets.
Forests of Argania spinosa accompanied by Acacias, and succulent shrubland dominated by Euphorbias, are the chief plant communities in the ecoregion.
The ecoregion is bounded on the north by the Mediterranean woodlands and forests, on the east by the North Saharan steppe and woodlands, on the south by the Atlantic coastal desert, and on the west by the Atlantic Ocean.
