Informative portion of the original piece:
“We think mosses are sucking up six times more carbon dioxide, so it’s not one to one, it’s six times better.”
What’s more, the team found mosses seem to keep a lid on potential pathogens. The surveys counted fewer potential plant pathogens in soils where moss lived, and incredibly antibiotic resistant genes were less abundant in the microbiomes of mossy habitats compared to unvegetated areas.
Another evil plant trying to mess up “the plan”. 😃
