Spores are what moss [Bryophyta division] grows from. Spores need damp, shaded environments in which to grow. The reason lies in the inability of moss to stop water loss in high light, high heat, high evaporation environments.
Moss grows anywhere it can. If an indoor surface is clean moss won't grow on it, but outdoors there's no such thing as a clean surface, so moss will grow there if the climatic conditions are right.
Various types of moss can be found in rainforests, including cushion moss, feather moss, and sphagnum moss. These varieties thrive in the humid and shaded environments of rainforests, playing a crucial role in nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.
The plant you are referring to is likely a moss. Mosses have leafy structures called gametophytes that lack true roots and stems. They anchor themselves to the soil using rhizoids that grow from the leaf-like structures.
Moss does not directly cause physical or chemical weathering itself. However, moss can indirectly contribute to chemical weathering by producing organic acids that can break down rocks over time. Additionally, moss can also contribute to physical weathering by helping to break apart rocks as their roots grow into cracks and crevices.
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.
The sloth does not grow moss, the moss does.
They cannot grow on a rock but will grow among rocks Moss however will grow quite happily on rocks.
Like any other plants, it requires nutrients and moistness to grow.
moss can grow on a rock
if it is a underwater moss it will or else it will rot.
To grow moss on concrete statues, you can create a moss slurry by blending moss with water and buttermilk, then apply it to the statue. Keep the statue moist and in a shady area to encourage moss growth.
No it does not
by watering it
Yes, dry sphagnum moss can grow if properly rehydrated.
Yes, moss can grow without direct sunlight, as it can thrive in shaded or damp environments.
Yes, there are species of moss that have adapted to life in the desert.
Moss grows anywhere it can. If an indoor surface is clean moss won't grow on it, but outdoors there's no such thing as a clean surface, so moss will grow there if the climatic conditions are right.
