Field Notes
Description:
Mosses are bryophytes, or non-vascular plants. They're different from other plants by not having internal water bearing vessels or veins, and no flowers containing no fruits, cones or seeds.
Habitat:
Since mosses have no vascular system to carry water through the plant, they must have a damp environment in which to live, and a surrounding of liquid water to reproduce. And since mosses are photosynthetic, they require enough sun to conduct photosynthesis. Different species of mosses have different moisture and sun requirements so will grow on different sections of the same tree or rock.
Notes:
Found under a shaded bridge that extends over a water stream in prospect park.
