✅Their biochemical interest

They have very unique ways to produce certain molecules that can be valuable.

They also provide new ways to catch carbon and analyse the impact of climate change on an ecosystem, help them recover from a disaster, evaluate air quality ⬇️

🌿Liverworts: some are similar to mosses and have leaf like structures, while others have a thallus, a type of flat green leaf, which looks like a big tounge.

🌿Hornworts: all have a thallus topped by spores.

We study them for ⬇️

They live without roots or a vascular system.

So, they don't use “veins” to transport water and nutrients; they absorb everything directly from their leaves.

They are divided into 3 sub-categories ⬇️

🌿Mosses are composed of an aerial or creeping root like structure and leaf like structures ⬇️

🐍 Aspic viper, whose bite it was known to cure

We are very proud to be on the cover 🌹

Next time you pass through a lavender field you may be mistaken, it's possible that I'm right in front of your eyes.

🔎To be sure, check the inflorescences: if they are shaped like a trident, it’s me!
