Mosses in Olympic National Park, WA.
Sphagnum grows out onto the surface of a pond and gradually turns it into a quaking bog, which really does quake when you walk or jump on it. Eventually it becomes a bog with no free water.
Peat farmer, digging turf in Ireland.
Tollund Man, found in Denmark, was preserved by the tannic acids of a peat moss bog.

Scientists know that this moss was formed in Danish peat bogs in the early Iron Age about this moss was formed in Danish peat bogs in the early Iron Age about the time when Jesus was born. Therefore, the body was suspected to the time when Jesus was born. Therefore, the body was suspected to have been placed in the bog approximately 2,000 years ago during the have been placed in the bog approximately 2,000 years ago during the early Iron Age.early Iron Age.

Green algae gave rise to bryophytes.Chara is a green alga that has features similar to the alga that may have been ancestralto the bryophytes. Its growth habit is plantlike, although this may simply result from convergent evolution.

A moss that survives drought. Tortula rurali is a genus of moss that lives in regions with only occasional rainfall. During dry periods, the plant looks completely dried out and dead. However, a few minutes after rain, the plants are rehydrated and fully functional.
