These Moss Are Living Their Best Life—Under Rocks

Desert mosses live a much different life (https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/moss/) than their cousins in lush, water-rich forests. In fact, they spend most of their time dormant: dried out, waiting for the rare rainfall to bring them to life so they can grow and reproduce. Once exposed to water, though, these same mosses can re-animate qui...
