You can use this knowledge to orient yourself with the cardinal directions if you get lost.
Moss typically grows on the north side of a tree.
Moss typically grows on the north side of a tree.
Moss typically grows on the north side of trees.
Moss typically grows on the north side of trees, as it thrives in shaded and moist environments.
Moss typically grows on the south side of trees in the southern hemisphere.
Moss typically grows on the side of a statue that is more shaded and damp, providing a suitable environment for its growth. Factors like sunlight exposure, moisture levels, and surface texture can influence where moss grows on a statue.
Moss typically grows on the north side of a tree in the Northern Hemisphere, as it receives less direct sunlight and retains more moisture.
Yes, moss does begins a very, very large part of its life cycle only on the north side of trees in the US. However, after a very, very long time that the moss has established itself, I'm talking decades here, then the moss will take over the south side too. But not initially and it rarely lasts that long to take over both sides of a tree. It generally will perish first. Moss grows on all sides of trees. It grows thickest on the north side because the north side doesn't get as much direct sunlight (If it gets any at all) And moss generally grows better in shaded areas. If this is true that moss grows thickest on the north side of the tree, in the southern hemisphere the moss should then grow on the south side of the tree as the sun should pretty much always face the north side of the tree on trees below the equator.
Not sure what you are asking, but I know that moss always starts on the north side of trees.
Moss typically grows from spores that are carried by the wind or water. These spores land on a suitable surface, such as soil, rocks, or trees, where they germinate and begin to grow into moss plants.
Moss grows more on the most sheltered side of trees. A boy scout's trick for finding north was to look at the trees in a forest and see which side the moss grew; the assumption was that the prevaling wind came from the west so the moss grew on the east. This is a bit of an old wive's tale; local varation make it an unreliable way of finding north.
