Rock and Moss
Photo taken on 9/29/2018 at Johnson Mound Forest Preserve in Elburn, IL. In this photo we see a matting of flowerless green plants known as moss. Moss begins to grow when spores of the plant begin to germinate on a stable surface. The way the plant grows it produces thread like filaments that weave into one another to create the green matted mass that is know as common moss. The moss is an example of a producer, the plant produces its own energy and spreads through seeds into the environment spread by the yellow colored shoots one can see if they look at the picture closely. As a part of the Eco-system the moss can help to provide nitrogen to the soil, and the environment provides the cool and moist conditions along with a stable surface that encourages the moss to grow.
