Origin
Appearing more than 450 million years ago, these tiny green plants, part of the bryophyte family, provided our planet with the first source of oxygen. They allowed other life forms to thrive and establish colonies in hostile environments.
his survival skills
With a simple structure, no roots, seeds or flowers, this plant supports extreme temperature ranges (-40°C to 70°C). It can also resist drought, and a few drops of rain is all it takes to “resurrect” this organism and restart its reproductive cycle.
under observation
25,000 species of algae of different shapes and sizes are listed all over the planet. Many laboratories have collections of bryophytes. Observing these plants closely, Japanese scientists, among others, made important discoveries from an ecological point of view, especially regarding changes in the functioning of the ecosystem.
