Many species of algae, lichens, mosses and ferns comprise the epiphytes and stranglers.
Additional aphids were introduced to maintain numbers and water was added to the moss as required.
Other contaminants should also be considered, especially aerosols and particulate accumulations in snow ablation zones and moss sites adjacent to the runway site.
Also, moss clumps lose water slowly and are quickly rehydrated by rainfall.
Gleysols are found only in relief depressions, in sags between ridges and/or under moss communities of dellies.
Non-vascular species were recorded within 95 sample plots and totalled 2 2 mosses, 66 liverworts and 4 6 macrolichens.
Reduced litter loads and a greater quantity of moss were two key responses.
The four variables were: cover by higher plants, litter, moss and soil surface depressions, stratified towards the soil surface in that order.
