Lichens are a good indicator species for acid rain. Lichens absorb water and nutrients from the air. They absorb the nutrients that they need from the water. Rainwater contains enough sulphur dioxide to make them stop growing.

Importance of non vascular plants?

Many beneficial processes and products are derived from them, such as decomposition, nitrogen fixation, food, medicinal, fabric dyes, and alcoholic fermentation. Lichens and mosses are often used as bio monitors or indicator species of air pollution (since non vascular plants are very sensitive to air pollution as you may know), such as that caused by sulfur dioxide. Hope that helps.

A typical model is the aquarium in a sealed bottle. It demonstrates the need for components of an ecosystem to produce materials beneficial for other parts of the system (e.g Oxygen from the plants for the fish, waste from the fish to fertilize the plants)
