Why it makes sense to use moss

The aims of the Mossclone research consortium to measure air contamination using mosses was introduced in the Spanish Newspaper La Voz de Galicia. Ana Rey Asensio from Biovía Consultor Ambiental explains: It makes sense to use a moss for this task since mosses don’t have roots and therefore acquire all necessary nutrients from the air. She and her coworkers Julia Ramos and Verónica Fernández are on the photo that goes along with the article.
