Mosses and ferns are the first plant ever to have appeared on this planet. They are different to other plants because they can neither drown or dry off. They can live with or without soil, with or without water. Look at old stone walls. See them thrive even though nothing is done to keep them, quite the opposite actually. Planet history tells of how they survived when our planet was only water. They somehow managed to reach chores where they appear and settle there. Nothing can kill them. They survived ice ages, bad floods, extreme heat etc. even Chernobyl!
PLants need to be looked after. They need a certain amount of soil, water and heat. Ferns and mosses may turn yellow or sometimes brown but their spores keep multiplying and they never die.
Lichens and mosses erode rocks by producing acids. These acids lead to the deterioration of rocks, such as limestone and marble.
mosses and lichens
Lichens are a symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae or cyanobacteria. Mosses, on the other hand, are non-vascular plants that reproduce via spores. Both lichens and mosses are important components of many ecosystems, playing roles in soil formation, nutrient cycling, and providing habitat for other organisms.
Plnats grow on rocks like lichens and mosses.
Because Lichens and Mosses grow on barren rocks and help in the formation of soil.
Ferns reproduce by producing spores through sporangia, while mosses reproduce by releasing spores from capsules at the tips of stalks called sporophytes. Spores from both ferns and mosses are dispersed by wind and water to colonize new areas and germinate into new plants.
None that I know of. Plants reproduce, sometimes, by making spores. The Fern plant and the true mosses do, for example.
Lichens produce oxalic acid while mosses do not produce acid.
No...grass, herbs, lichens and mosses
Contact of a rock with mosses and lichens is an example of biological weathering, where living organisms break down the rock through their physical or chemical actions. The roots of mosses and lichens can penetrate cracks in the rock surface, causing it to break down over time.
The tundra climate is cold all year and includes mosses and lichens. There is permafrost and the temperature is always cold.
