Bryophyte moss abundance data paired with AI accurately sorts pine forests into four distinct types. These hidden moss species act as reliable ecological indicators, greatly boosting forest classification and ecosystem monitoring.👇

Bonjour 🌿

Hier petite balade pendant l'Ă©claircie, ça fait du bien ! Et je ne peux pas m'empĂȘcher d'ĂȘtre fascinĂ© par ce que je vois, j'ai une passion pour les mousses !
Petit partage ici!

@mstrlaw any #bryophyte #bryophyta people who might like to comment? The water droplets, tho beautiful, baffle image recognition apps. The unusually long setae dont have capsules that look much different: I may even be imagining them pointing up and as thin as the seta.

Through the #DNA analysis of old #air samples collected by the Swedish Armed Forces, researchers at @[email protected] in Sweden can show that #spore #dispersal of northern mosses has shifted over the past 35 years. It now starts several weeks earlier. #moss #bryophyte #climate #openaccess

Lund University. When the Swedish military began collecting air samples in the 1960s to register radioactive fallout from nuclear weapons testing, it is highly unlikely that anyone was thinking about moss. However, the glass fibre filters on which the samples were saved also captured something completely unintended – namely DNA from pollen, spores and other biological particles. This discovery was made by researcher Per Stenberg of UmeĂ„ University.

Mosses (Bryophyta) have been around for around 500 million years, its thought 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, and dust. #plants #nature #biology #photo #forests #Bryophyte #ecology #science

I love the tiny landscapes you can find with moss. And this extinguisher moss (Encalypta vulgaris) was a new one for me!

Petite balade botanique dans le Doubs à sur pelouse calcaire à Ornan ! De bien belle chose dont voici quelques photos. N'hésitez pas à proposer vos identification surtout si vous avez une idée pour les mousses et lichens.

Polytrichastrum alpinum, or alpine haircap moss, is a pretty little moss I commonly find in certain forested areas in the lower mainland of BC.

#Genomic #evolution studies have historically focused on #angiosperms...until now!
Join Fujiwara et al. on a deep dive into #bryophyte #genome space and discover opposing evolutionary trends in sister lineages, #mosses and #liverworts.

Another close-up view of some Orthotrichaceae moss. I enjoy how in some of these photos, shot during daylight, the background just fully disappears.
