Moss gametophytes are autotrophic and require sunlight to perform photosynthesis. [59] In most areas, mosses grow chiefly in moist, shaded areas, such as wooded areas and at the edges of streams, but shade tolerance varies by species. Different moss species grow on different substrates as well.
A list of tree species, grouped generally by biogeographic realm and specifically by bioregions, and shade tolerance. Shade-tolerant species are species that are able to thrive in the shade, and in the presence of natural competition by other plants. Shade-intolerant species require full sunlight and little or no competition. Intermediate shade ...
Eastern Hemlock is a shade-tolerant tree. In ecology, shade tolerance is a plant's ability to tolerate low light levels. The term is also used in horticulture and landscaping, although in this context its use is sometimes imprecise, especially in labeling of plants for sale in commercial nurseries. [citation needed] Shade tolerance is a complex ...
Moss lawns can grow in anything from blazing sun to full shade, but different species are specialized to different light levels. [2] Annual variations in sun exposure need to be taken into account; space under deciduous trees may be seasonally sunny, and require sun-tolerant species. [10]
Fire moss prefers low competition and high light; however, it is somewhat shade tolerant, [15] [16] and has, for example, been reported to grow in artificially illuminated caves. [17] [18] It is a colonizer of disturbed sites and readily invades mineral soil by spores.
Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus is a species of moss known as springy turf-moss in the United Kingdom, [2] [3] and square goose neck moss in the United States. [1] [4] It is widespread in Eurasia and North America, and has been introduced to the Southern Hemisphere. It has broad ecological tolerances, and is usually found in man-made habitats such ...
It has a range of habitats including acidic and calcified grasslands, heaths, on banks, and among rocks and on rock ledges. It is a typical forest floor moss, especially characteristic of young, reforested areas. Although it is found in open woodland, it is not particularly shade tolerant. [3]
Sphagnum contortum is a species of moss [1] reported in North America and Europe. ... It also occurs at moderate to low elevations [5] and is not shade tolerant. [6]: ...
