The process is driven by the presence of specific fungi (often Exidiopsis effusa), which help create the structure by controlling the rate of freezing.
This is more interesting to me right now than the Super Bowl 🤷🏼♀️

6. Carbon Storage
• Like other plants, mosses absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis, playing a small role in mitigating climate change.
7. Temperature Regulation
• Moss helps moderate forest temperatures by insulating surfaces and keeping the environment cooler and moister.

5. Biodiversity Support
• Moss-covered trees create unique microhabitats that support fungi, lichens, and epiphytic plants (plants that grow on other plants).
• These layers of biodiversity foster a healthy and interconnected ecosystem.

4. Air and Water Purification
• Moss filters and traps particles from the air, improving air quality.
• It absorbs nutrients and contaminants from water, helping purify the water that flows through mossy areas.

3. Soil Formation
• By breaking down organic matter over time, mosses contribute to the formation of nutrient-rich soil.
• They stabilize the soil, preventing erosion, especially on slopes or exposed tree roots.

1. Moisture Retention
• Moss acts like a sponge, absorbing and retaining water from rainfall and fog.
• It helps maintain consistent moisture levels in the forest, supporting nearby plants, fungi, and animals, especially during dry periods.
