They have funnel shaped branches and tall thin trunks. This allows the water to be caught and then sent straight down to the roots as much water as possible collected can be used, thus reducing water loss.

Why are leaves of Mediterranean forest smaller than the leaves of Atlantic forest tree?

The smaller size of leaves in Mediterranean forest trees compared to Atlantic forest trees can be attributed to the adaptation to the Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Smaller leaves help reduce water loss through transpiration and minimize the risk of desiccation during the dry season. Additionally, smaller leaves have a higher surface area-to-volume ratio, allowing for efficient gas exchange and photosynthesis in the Mediterranean environment with limited water availability. This adaptation enhances the tree's survival and productivity in the Mediterranean climate.
