Moss has strong potential to global warming

Mosses have strong potential to acclimate to global warming, study indicates

Tropical moss of the species Leucoloma Cruegerianum at a study site in western Panama.

Researchers from the University of Oldenburg, Germany and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama, collected 15 individual plants each of 9 common species of moss or bryophytes  found growing at cool higher altitudes in the tropics and transplanted them at lower altitudes where temperatures were warmer. 

Higher temperature can reduce a moss's photosynthesis and cause it to die, but this experiment proved otherwise.

For an experiment, some scientists planted some moss at different temperatures and the most tested species survived most at higher temperatures. And that is what is happening to the earth. The temperature is rising.

 I think that this is an interesting article because it is proven that global warming is bad for our planet, but it is good for one type of plant. And it could be hard to live with so much moss around us. So we need to be careful about global warming.
