Mosses and lichens

BIOLOGICAL THEMES

Mosses and lichens

The aim of this chapter is to introduce the many different species of mosses and lichens,

and the biological diversity of these organisms. Many people think that a moss is just a

moss and a lichen is just a lichen. Without further examination and discovery of the

differences between species, it is difficult to understand that in fact there are many types

of mosses and lichens.
