Living organisms may contribute to mechanical weathering (as well as chemical weathering, see 'biological' weathering below). Lichens and mosses grow on essentially bare rock surfaces and create a more humid chemical microenvironment. The attachment of these organisms to the rock surface enhances physical as well as chemical breakdown of the surface microlayer of the rock.

∙ 14y agoYes it can, but it needs a damp and shady area. The hot sun will burn it up fast. Take a clump of moss and throw it in your blender. Add beer (1/2 can) and 1 to 2 tsp sugar and blend. Pour and/or brush this mix onto your concrete and be patient. Moss grows slow so it may take a few months to cover your area. I have heard rumors that a mix of honey and vinegar (more honey than vinegar) will spped up the growth of your moss. Good luck!

What does moss growing on roofing have to do with damage?
There are thousands of different varieties of moss and lichen, but the one that does the most damage to roofing is Ascomycetes Foliose. As part of its life cycle it burrows into the roofing material. On metal roofing this can cause the paint to blister promoting corrosion. The root system can also cause concrete and clay tiles to crack. With moss on the roof the surface is never allowed to dry out. Therefore the roof surface deteriorates faster.
