I believe mystery Biome 1 to be a temperate shrubland + woodland area. Most likely falling between 30º and 40º N and S. One of the main reasons that made me believe this, was because there is seasonal precipitation. In this first biome, there is a rainy winter season. For example, the month where it hits the peak in October and then continues to stay high throughout the winter. I also noticed that the precipitation drops in April and continues to drop until July where it starts to get wetter again. During the months of mid-June and mid-August, the conditions are insufficient for plant growth. This factor is in line with what we already know about shrubland and woodland areas. If this biome behaves the same way, we can assume that it is going to contain mostly evergreen shrubs and trees. The plants here have to make it through the months where it is insufficient for plant growth so many of them will probably contain sclerophyllous leaves, which are able to survive hot, dry summers.
