Old air samples hint at effects of climate change

Through DNA analysis of old air samples collected by the Swedish Armed Forces, Nils Cronberg (botany researcher & BECC PI) & colleagues, show that spore dispersal of northern mosses changed the past 35 years: www.lunduniversity.lu.se/article/old-...

One of my favorite early Quaker writers emphasized, “do not neglect the day of small things.”

“[Mosses] retain water, regulate nutrients, constitute important biodiversity, and are the ecosystem engineers that have formed massive carbon stores in the northern boreal peatlands.”

very interesting work on mosses in the arctic and their change in spore dispersal over time - also an important argument why we need long term monitoring programs #eDNA #consgen 🧪🌏🦤

Afternoon, Bluesky. Not on the ball today. This photo is all I have to offer - mosses on the village boundary stone wall. I don’t know what they are, so if anyone has any miss knowledge, please share as I’d quite like to find out. Click, zoom and stare to get lost. No micro lens.

Mosses (Bryophyta) have been around for around 500mil. years, dinosaurs encountered and ate them incidentally while browsing. Since moss lack internal "plumbing" (xylem and phloem, they absorb water and nutrients directly by leaves taking them from the atmosphere, rainwater & dust. #nature

This is a highly detailed, colorful, and abstract digital illustration reminiscent of a botanical or biological study, possibly depicting microscopic organisms or fantastical plant life. The background is a blend of deep blues, purples, and greens, creating a watery, dynamic effect. Numerous small, uniquely shaped organisms populate the image, many resembling flowers or marine life, with a vibrant palette of reds, oranges, yellows, and greens. They appear to be layered and overlapping, creating a sense of depth and complexity. The organisms feature intricate details, including swirling patterns, delicate tendrils, and bulbous shapes, with a strong focus on organic forms and textures.

Clubmosses are unhelpfully named as they are much more closely related to ferns than mosses. There are many other bits of misinformation in vernacular names of plants: grass-of-Parnassus isn't a grass; club-rushes are in the sedge family; and many more besides. If only we could start again!

My favorite thing about my oak-hickory woodland when it comes to winter interest are the large patches of native grasses, sedges and rushes that I've been encouraging to spread by keeping areas free from leaves. It's fun seeing which species choose to colonize which areas - sun, shade, dry, wet...
Luzula spp. (woodrush) is red in the winter months. The curlicue grasses are Danthonia spicata (poverty oatgrass). At the top you get a hint of Carex albicans (white tinted sedge) which prefers the sunnier, drier (upland) portions of the woods. Luzula will not grow anywhere there's too much sun. Danthonia seems to be happy wherever. And, of course, mosses and lichens. There are plenty of mosses and lichens to be seen everywhere.

Penguins are colonizers from Antarctica, return it to the native mosses and lichen.

It's Tomb Tuesday,🗿 so here is a cisted cairn circle from Bellever on Sunday.
This lesser-visited one is still hidden amongst the trees of the plantation, which while restricting the views, does make for a more intimate atmosphere.
Low heathery cairn circle surrounded by conifers. The displaced lid of the central cist stands on edge and catches the low winter Sun. darker grey stones of inner and outer rings are just visible. The cist up close, displaced stones standing upright have acquired a frosting of pale lichens. Cist from the other side, showing the mosses and lichens on the upright stones; making them paler than the greyer stones of the retaining circle rings. Interior is well-flooded, so you can't see the extent of the space. As the ancestors are thought to have considered standing water to be a portal to the other world, this is not inappropriate.

Rotting logs are great. Should support a nice population of mosses, beetles and other arthropods etc. over time.

Intertwined tree trunk(s) seen at Padley Gorge, an ancient woodland in the Peak District with mossy rocks, trees, a brook and small waterfalls. It is a temperate rainforest, one of the most inland examples in the UK, known for its ancient oak and birch trees, high humidity, and frequent rainfall which create the lush conditions necessary for this type of ecosystem. Padley Gorge is a deep, narrow valley in the Peak District, Derbyshire. It is a remnant of an ancient woodland ecosystem, home to a diverse range of flora, including rare lichens and mosses. Key features include the Burbage Brook, which runs through the gorge, and the dense canopy formed by the oak and birch trees.

When I got my Land Rover from The Forestry Commission, the air intake was clogged up and full of water. Also several mosses, a couple of water snails and some ticks. I put them in our pond.

A small, silvery-grey gravestone surrounded by mosses and dry grass, reflecting late afternoon light and partially in shadow. Its own shadow is long enough to reach the gravestone behind it. Other gravestones, long shadows, and a tree trunk are visible in the background.
