The light filters through leaves, sound is muffled by the vegetation, and moisture can be high.\u00a0\u00a0<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: right;\">Below the canopy of tallest tree branches, there are various layers of growth including the understory of shrubs and small plants on the forest floor.\u00a0 Ferns and mosses commonly thrive in these high moisture environments.<\/h5>\n[embed]https:\/\/vimeo.com\/434796726[\/embed]\n<img src=\"http:\/\/naturejournals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/l-moss-life-cy-1024x752.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"752\" title=\"2b3 Temperate Forests\" alt=\"2b3 Temperate Forests\">\n<p>Moss are found throughout a wide range of forests.\u00a0<\/p> <p>From earlier in the course, are mosses vascular or nonvascular plants?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Ferns are vascular plants and have vessels to transport nutrient-rich fluids throughout their bodies.\u00a0 Like moss they have spores instead of seeds and water assists in spore dispersal.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: right;\">Ferns have significantly different life cycles than moss.\u00a0 In moss, the spores are produced by small specialized structures called sporophytes.\u00a0 In ferns, spores are produced on the fronds (leaves).<\/p>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/naturejournals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/l-fern-life-949x1024.jpg\" width=\"949\" height=\"1024\" title=\"2b3 Temperate Forests\" alt=\"2b3 Temperate Forests\">\n<img src=\"http:\/\/naturejournals.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/l-sori-1024x680.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" title=\"2b3 Temperate Forests\" alt=\"2b3 Temperate Forests\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A close-up of the sori;
