Dortmanna Stricta

Dortmanna moss, scientifically known as Dortmanna stricta, is a small, leafy moss commonly found in moist, shaded environments. It thrives in temperate regions and is often seen growing on soil, rocks, or decaying wood. This species is characterized by its dense, cushion-like growth and dark green foliage. While not widely cultivated, it plays an important role in soil stabilization and moisture retention. Its simple structure and resilience make it a valuable subject for ecological studies.
