Recent progress suggests that Hawking radiation originates not from the black hole’s event horizon but from a quantum atmosphere outside the horizon. Consider this, the current work focuses on revealing the effect of the quantum atmosphere on various quantum resources in the Schwarzschild black hole, including nonlocal advantage of quantum coherence (NAQC), Bell nonlocality, quantum steering, and quantum discord (QD). Interestingly, it is found that the quantumness of the accessible region is strongest near the event horizon, and will decline as the particle is far away from it. Furthermore, the hierarchical relationship among the concerned quantum resources are shown, i.e., the NAQC represent a stronger quantum correlation compared to quantum steering and Bell nonlocality, implying that a bipartite state achieving NAQC must also be steerable and Bell nonlocal. Additionally, we examine the monogamy relation of quantum discord in the quantum atmosphere framework. It turns out that the squared quantum discord (SQD) is monogamous, whereas quantum discord (QD) is not. Furthermore, it is verified that the bipartite QD constrains the sum of SQD in physically accessible and inaccessible regions. This current study sheds light on the quantumness in quantum atmosphere, and facilitate us understand information paradox of black holes from the viewpoint of quantum resource theories.
