With a dense canopy and nigh-impenetrable vegetation density, these jungles are poor in soil quality, but rich in plant-life and fruit-bearing trees. These extensive cave networks are covered in many species of edible fungi, which require neither sunlight nor fertile soil to flourish. These low-lying wetlands provide a wealth of plant nutrients.Ī watery slurry of clay, silt, and loam stretches across the horizon, where low vegetation flourishes. Sedges, shrubs and lichens cover this high-latitude biome, where the subsoil permafrost is nevertheless covered in more fertile sediment. Rolling hills covered in greenery and fertile soils. Useful ore deposits line parts of the ocean floor, providing opportunities for deep-sea mining.ĭewy moss, lichens and fungi form a plush carpet that stretches across these rocky lands.įertile soils and tall grasses cover these sweeping plains, providing rich potential for farmlands.Ĭold, rocky woods with herbaceous understories. These mountainsides glint with rich ore resources and precious stones. These deep caverns are rife with metallic and mineral ore deposits. This flat-topped hill has steep sides lined with useful resources. Geological upheaval exposed these useful minerals to the planet's surface long ago.
Wind-torn vegetation clings to the high crags and stormy cliffs of these rainy mountains.īands of valuable mineral ores run like veins through these exposed cliff faces. Metalliferous sediments react with superheated water in the planet's crust, venting chemicals along the seabed where tectonic plates diverge. These fumaroles vent steam and noxious gases from deep within the planet's crust. With little precipitation, extreme temperatures and limited vegetation, these sandy deserts are hostile to most forms of life.įormed under immense pressure in a bygone age, deep-freeze temperatures have kept the gases dissolved in these rimey lakes in a solid state. Picturesque vistas formed when rivers flow over the cliff-sides of steep mountainsides.
Groundwater heated by geothermal processes steams from the surface of these springs. effect add_modifier = Īn elevated, dry ecoregion bearing sparse vegetation of desert grasses and scrubs.effect remove_deposit = d_rich_mountain.
