The given phrase seems to be a mnemonic device for remembering the weather patterns associated with moss growth. Moss tends to dry out and become more brittle under sunny skies, while it thrives and becomes more vibrant when wet from rain. This mnemonic could be helpful for someone studying botany or ecology to understand the environmental conditions that affect moss growth.

Does the addition of peat moss to potting soil helps it to retain water?

Yes, peat moss helps potting soil retain water by increasing its water-holding capacity. Peat moss is highly absorbent and can hold moisture well, which helps to keep the soil consistently moist and can reduce the frequency of watering for plants.


Does moss damage concrete?

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.


What lives on the Forest Floor of a Rain forest?

The forest floor of a rainforest is home to a diverse range of organisms including insects like ants, termites, and beetles, as well as small mammals such as agoutis and armadillos. Decomposers like fungi and bacteria also play a crucial role in breaking down organic matter on the forest floor.


What does potting soil consist of?

Potting soil typically consists of a blend of organic matter like peat moss, coir, or compost, as well as inorganic materials such as sand, perlite, or vermiculite for drainage. It may also contain nutrients like perlite for plant growth and microbial additives to promote soil health.


Which absorbs more water clay soil or potting soil?

Clay soil typically absorbs more water than potting soil due to its high density and fine particles that hold water well. Potting soil is designed to provide a well-draining environment for potted plants, which may contain ingredients like perlite or peat moss to improve drainage and aeration.

A cleistocarpous (rather than a cleistocarpic) moss is a moss whose capsules do not open to release the included spores. Only after decay of the moss and its capsules are the spores dispersed (over, of course, a relatively short distance). Phascum cuspidatum (Toothed phascum moss) is a well known example. HdB
