>>There are about 2,500 kinds of the moss! It can grow it without the soil!！

The moss is one of the first plants which got out of the sea to the land 400million years ago. It is a mother of the plants that has kept bringing up its ground life up to today.

There are about 2,500 kinds in Japan, and among them, especially Sunagoke (Giboushigoke department) and Haigoke (Haigoke department) spread and form green as a pioneer in defiance of dryness, a strong wind and humidity.

As Coke doesn't have root, it absorbs necessary water and nourishment from all over the air, and does not need the soil for growth.



>>Various ecosystem is formed!

Even if Coke is the same kind, it gives off various colors and grows.

This is because Coke reacts to a minor environmental condition in a growth environment.

Its color and formation are never the same. It forms various ecosystem adjusting itself to the environmental changes such as the season, weather, light and shade, the character of the basis and other creature etc.

that is overuse.



>>The Coke takes in CO2 and fixes carbon inside
 

The Coke has a function to immobilize carbon in its body by carbon dioxide assimilation like other plants. The general plant corrodes the immobilized carbon in soil by dying and reduces CO2 to an atmosphere by incineration in the cities.

As a result, it is said that balance of absorption and the discharge of the CO2 is roughly equal.

However, the Coke accumulates with having immobilized carbon and forms peat moss (the peat layer) because the Coke which can grow on inorganic corrodes extremely slow. Looking in the long run, the Coke may be said that an immobilizing degree of the carbon is remarkably high in comparison with the other plants 。

>>There is an effect for improvement of the ecosystem as well!

It is known that the Coke grows in groups and as it thickens, it maintains a large quantity of water temporarily. Although it is a small scale of water retentivity comparing trees and soils, it works to suppress wasting water and to supply water for trees and the soil stably. Even though the surface is dry, the speed to absorb water is fast and it lets water infiltrate the ground slowly.

For a long time, it is confirmed that the Coke is to suppress the outflow of the earth and sand by a function of the quick water absorption. It is because the Coke absorbs water quickly and gets together with the seed plant, that has an effect on ecosystem to reborn wealthily. As a result, it can controls being washed away of the sand in the long run. In addition, when moss (the creature layer) is coated on a inorganic, representative concrete slope, it becomes the way of the creature, and it is known to restraint relaxation of the interchange between the ecosystem.

In the way, it may be said that moss is a plant with many characteristics that the general plant doesn't have.
