Wow! What timing! I recently had a craving for a solo hex crawl with low stakes so this fits the bill! I also imagine you could hack this to fit any kind of plant based biome, like a desert with shrubs and cacti!

I did a little poking around, but I'm no expert (my son is). The early stages look the same. In stage 3, we start seeing hardy grasses and annuals along with small lizards and birds. Stage 4, small bushes and succulents. Stage 5: larger bushes and small cacti with birds and snakes. Stage 6: Trees, larger cacti and predators like coyotes and hawks.
