Hello!
I (Bastien) recently started a new project in order to get people to better understand what mosses are, what they bring to ecosystems and how amazing they are (in total objectivity of course)!
This will consist in a series of publications (more or less every two weeks) going deeper and deeper into bryophyte complexity, but also explaining my research and the projects going on concerning bryophytes.
There will also be shorter posts about one specific moss species every two weeks, to discover how incredible and different bryophytes can be!
This will be published on Twitter, at my account @BastienPapinot, but also on Instagram in the specific account @babossandthemoss (but only in French I’m really sorry)
I will be updating the list of publications here, you can already find the published episodes below:
