Whenever they’re out mossing, Kleinman and Blisard are searching for a hornwort — a bryophyte that grows narrow, hornlike reproductive structures. No one has ever found one in New Mexico, although ...

All you need is a hand lens and Ralph Pope’s Mosses, Liverworts, and Hornworts.” If you want to make your own natural history observations, The Naturalist’s Notebook by Wheelwright and Bernd Heinrich ...

Over 450 million years ago, plants began the epic transition from water to dry land. Among the first pioneers were the ancestors of humble hornworts, a group of small, unassuming plants that have ...

Moss never has roots, but attaches to the substructure via rhizoids, usually red-brown in color. Liverworts’ and hornworts’ rhizoids are colorless and one-celled structures.

Liverworts, mosses and hornworts used to be lumped together into the division Bryophyta, but recent research indicates they are not that closely related and so these three types of primitive ...

Moss cannot outcompete turf grass when conditions are favorable for the grass. The key is to find out why the grass isn’t thriving there. Once the conditions are changed to suit the grass, the ...
