Statement 1 is correct. Mediterranean vegetation typically consists of plants with adaptations to resist water loss, such as small, leathery, or sclerophyllous leaves, and wax-coated leaves. Mediterranean trees adapt themselves to dry summers with the help of their thick barks and wax coated leaves which help them reduce transpiration

Statement 2 is correct. Regions with Mediterranean vegetation experience hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters. This climatic pattern is typical of Mediterranean climates.

Statement 3 is incorrect. While cedar trees may be present in some Mediterranean regions, they are not universally considered a defining tree variety of Mediterranean vegetation.
