What growing conditions in which you would expect to find pioneer plants such as mosses and liverworts?
pioneer plants change enviromental conditions so that the other plants can grow.
What two characteristics do mosses liverworts and hornwort share?
There are three major groups of nonvascular plants: mosses, liverworts, and gornworts. These low-growing plants live in moist areas where thhey can absorb H2O and other nutrients directly from their enviornment
Under what growing conditions would you expect to find pioneer plants such as mosses and liverworts?
Pioneer plants change environmental conditions so that other plants can grow.
How do mosses help restore land that has been destroyed?
Mosses, over time, build up a layer of soil that other plants can get established within.
What plant are used in Christmas in France?
Mosses and other plants that stay green all year
What is an example of bryophyta?
Bryophyte plants are non-vascular plants that live on land. Unlike all other land plants they lack lignin, which helps maintain cell structure. They reproduce with spores. Examples are mosses, liverworts and hornworts.
Why moss plants need water for reproduction?
The water carries the gametes(sperm) to the other mosses for pollination.
In what ways are mosses liverworts hornworts similar In what ways are they differ?
The three major groups of nonvascular plants are mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. These low-growing plants live in moist environments where they can absorb water and other nutrients directly from their environment.
What are some non flowering plants?
bird nest fern, horsetail fern, mosses and lots of other more
What are some types of non-vascular plants?
Non-vascular plants are those that do not have a true vascular system like other plants (they have no xylem and phlome vessels). These include groups of plants such as: Horsetails, Club Mosses and Ferns.
What is the grouping that includes both trees and mosses?
Mosses make up a huge group of plants known formally as the Bryophyta. In terms of taxonomic organization (the way biologists organize organisms into groups of related species) all plants are in the kingdom Plantae. The kingdom is then broken down into divisions, which are broken into classes, then orders, then families, then genera, then finally species. Bryophyta is a division, so we can see that mosses branch off from all other plants very early on both in terms of taxonomy and evolution. The bryophytes are the true mosses, and, as such, they are non-vascular, seedless plants (all non-vascular plants are seedless). They are closely related to hornworts and liverworts, but only distantly related to club mosses.
What type of fossil fuel is made from trees ferns mosses and other marsh plants?
It is coal
