Lands of Two Seasons: The World's Mediterranean-Climate Ecosystems

Great weather, abundant harvests, fabulous food, some of the
world’s most cosmopolitan, and romantic, cities – as well as the
world’s most critical biodiversity hotspots -- make up what are
known as Mediterranean-climate Ecosystems. With this program, UCTV
and the UC Natural Reserve System inaugurate a six-part series that
will be unveiled in spring 2013 on UCTV Prime. The introductory
program offers an overview the world’s Mediterranean-climate zones,
pointing out their similarities, unique characteristics and
importance, while also illuminating the factors that threaten them.
From geology to ocean and atmospheric forces, subsequent programs
will explore the many factors that make these environments so
unique and alluring. Series: "UC Natural Reserve System" [Science]
