Why do more mosses and lichens grow on granite than on marble?
Mosses and lichens tend to grow more on granite compared to marble due to differences in their mineral composition and texture. Granite has a coarser texture and contains minerals like feldspar, which provide nutrients for mosses and lichens to thrive. Marble, on the other hand, has a smoother texture and lacks mineral content, making it less suitable for mosses and lichens to establish and grow.
