👉 Moss research focuses on understanding these resilient, non-vascular plants' unique adaptations to thrive in diverse and often extreme environments, from arctic tundras to arid deserts. Scientists study their ability to survive with minimal water, photosynthesize efficiently under low light, and repair DNA damage caused by radiation or pollution. Researchers also investigate mosses' roles as bioindicators, using their sensitivity to environmental changes to monitor air and water quality. Additionally, mosses are explored for biotechnological applications, such as bioremediation (cleaning contaminated soil) and developing sustainable materials due to their rapid growth and ability to accumulate nutrients. This research not only advances ecological knowledge but also offers practical solutions for environmental conservation and innovation.
