The ecological role of bryophytes in nature.

Mossy plants, despite their small size, play a very important role in many ecosystems. In particular, mosses, due to their dense structure, help to retain moisture both in the soil and on the trunks of larger plants where they can be located. In areas such as the tundra, mosses are almost the only plant species that can successfully take root in these harsh conditions. In this regard, there they become a fodder base for large horned animals (reindeer and other herbivores).
