For this purpose, the distribution of the olive tree is used as a decisive criterion , which is a typical representative of the Mediterranean flora and one of the most important cultivated and useful plants in the region. It is symbolic of the Mediterranean area.

The olive tree line serves as an indicator for areas that are influenced by the Mediterranean climate. It runs a short distance from the coasts of the Mediterranean.
