This needs to be much better integrated with Mediterranean Sea. Or vice versa. --Joy [shallot] 15:33, 17 August 2005 (UTC) hi —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.79.183.80 (talk) 17:22, 2 October 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

A basin is an hydrographic/orographic entity, not based on the flora. What is the point of including most of Portugal (Atlantic shore), but not Egypt? I also think that, perhaps in California are some olive trees. Is that part also of the Mediterranean Basin?.

This article needs a deep clean. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.116.23.136 (talk) 10:01, 10 November 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Moved from article:

An open-source database (named WDB-Paleo) of marine sediment cores from the Mediterranean Basin has been published as a tool for past climatic and environmental studies. The database contains four main categories of data: (1) details from oceanographic cruises and cores, (2) paleoclimatic proxies derived from 200 scientific publications, (3) results of quantitative analyses of planktonic and benthonic organisms, and (4) quantitative data of δ¹⁸O, ¹⁴C and tephra layers.^[1]
