Moss and Urban Ecology
Mosses play an important role in urban environments, thriving in the cracks and crevices of buildings and infrastructure. They contribute to a biodiverse ecosystem, surviving and metabolizing pollutants in the city. Mosses like bryum argentum are resilient and can withstand drought for extended periods. They contribute to the degradation of urban surfaces, breaking down materials and reabsorbing substances into their own bodies. Mosses also act as bio indicators, showing changes in the environment.
