mosses growing in the cracks in heavily used pavement cars rolling over them 76 times a day nothing but respect for our troops

#some of them around here are even putting out spore capsules. #like yes my children and my childrens children shall grow in this Wendy’s parking lot #also makes me think about the perks of microhabitats. #being a crevice parking lot moss means that you get to marinate in a puddle for a long while when it rains #and often you get runoff from the pavement which can contain Numtrient #and protection. don’t have to worry about certain things eating you if bigger things get scared off by cars #many downsides but like. there are worse places to be as a moss
