The document discusses zonal ecosystems in the Canary Islands, specifically the El Cardonal-Tabaibal ecosystem. This is the most arid ecosystem, found between 50-300 meters above sea level with average temperatures of 20°C and rainfall under 200mm. It consists of plant communities dominated by Euphorbia canariensis, E. balsamifera, E. obtusifolia, and Klenia nerifolia that have adapted to the arid conditions. This ecosystem supports endemic wildlife like lizards, geckos, and birds, but is the most degraded due to urbanization and tourism development.
