The ground is comprised of patches of coarse dirt and crustose, a golden grass-like block. Fallen aspen trees covered in crustose called crustose logs can also be found. Small patches of grass will spawn here, alongside golden growths, the crustose grass equivalent. Patches of poppies, dandelions and agave can also be found on the ground in this biome.

This biome was likely inspired by the real-life biome of the same name, found in southern Canada and small parts of the northern USA.

• Precipitation: Rain

Dunes

The dunes are a plain, desert-like biome, comprised of striating arid and red arid sand. Arid sprouts grow from the sand. The biome is dotted with arid sandstone rocks. Dead bushes and yucca trees grow in dunes, and patches of aloe vera and barrel cacti can also be found.

In real life, a dune just refers to a hill-like formation of sand, and these can be found all over the world. However, yucca trees are a variety of species known for being found natively in the Americas and the Caribbean and inhabit a variety of climates, though they are seen as growing best in the deserts of North America.

• Temperature: Warm
• Arid Gardens can spawn in this biome.

Flourishing Dunes

Flourishing dunes are alike to regular dunes in that they are mainly formed from arid sand, have arid sandstone rocks, and yucca, aloe vera and barrel cacti all grow in the biome. However, flourishing dunes have much more greenery and vegation. Patches of melon grow here, and the arid sand may be interrupted by patches of coarse dirt covered in grass. Some yucca trees can generate with bee nests attached to them. Gilia and agave are both also found in flourishing dunes.

• Precipitation: None
• Temperature: Warm
  • Need more info here

Kousa Jungle

Kousa jungles are similar to regular jungles, just with a much lower temperature. Kousa trees, snowy bamboo, currant bushes and birches grow here, occasionally interrupted by small rocks of mossy cobblestone. The ground is covered with snow. Ferns and large ferns can be found growing from the grass. Passion vines may generate hanging off of kousa or birch leaves.

Kousa trees are small, ornamental trees native to East Asia.

Trivia

• Atmospheric was initially named Rosewood, and contained only the features related to the rainforests, which were called rosewood forests at the time. Kousa, dunes, aspen, and the hot springs were still planned, but also as separate mods named after the biomes themselves. After a single release of Rosewood for 1.14.4 on February 11th, 2020, it was completely rebranded as Atmospheric the next day.
