In the modern world the economic uses of mosses and liverworts are not immediately obvious. But they do have an important and subtle ecological role, both in water-retention and stabilising mobile surfaces like landslips, scree slopes and sand dunes. Examination of almost any handful of moss will also reveal another important ecological role - that of providing shelter and humidity for a remarkable diversity of invertebrates. This is an integral part of the food web in many of our important habitats.
