Editing Isla Arbojan environment

==Isla Arbojan forests==

===West Coast Area (Low Elevation, Near Sea Level)===
Likely Climate:
Mild, wet winters
Dry, warm to hot summers
Classic Mediterranean climate, due to west-coast ocean influence at mid-latitudes (like California or coastal Spain)
Forest Type: Mediterranean Woodland / Shrubland.
Flora:
Evergreen oaks (holm oak, cork oak)
Coastal pine species (stone pine, Monterey pine)
Aromatic shrubs: rosemary, thyme, lavender, sage
Drought-adapted trees like olive, cypress, arbutus (strawberry tree)

===High Elevation Interior (Mountains or Highlands)===
Likely Climate:
Cooler due to altitude
Possibly wetter depending on prevailing winds and rain shadow
Could resemble montane or mixed temperate forests
Forest Type: Mixed Coniferous-Deciduous Forest (or Montane Forest)
Flora:
Pines, firs, and spruces (conifers dominate higher up)
Deciduous species like beech, birch, oak, and chestnut at mid-elevations
Moss, ferns, lichen, and mushrooms in the understory
Alpine meadows or rocky scrub near treeline
Rain Shadow Possibility
If the mountains block inland rainfall, you might get a dry steppe or desert-like zone on the eastern side of the island (like California’s Central Valley or Turkey’s Anatolian Plateau). That would contrast sharply with the lusher western side.
You could use that to:
Create an ecological gradient across the island
Add tension between forest-dwelling cultures and plains/dryland cultures
Hide rare oases in otherwise barren areas
