Mosses and lichens tend to grow more on granite compared to marble due to differences in their mineral composition and texture. Granite has a coarser texture and contains minerals like feldspar, which provide nutrients for mosses and lichens to thrive. Marble, on the other hand, has a smoother texture and lacks mineral content, making it less suitable for mosses and lichens to establish and grow.

What organisms grow on rock or exposed soil?
Mosses and Lichens, and possibly mushrooms
When does primary succession occur?

What is a cold dry treeless region where mosses grasses and lichens grow?
This is a tundra, an ecosystem characterized by low temperatures, high winds, and sparse vegetation like mosses, grasses, and lichens due to its harsh climate conditions.
How do mosses and lichens help to from soil?
Mosses and lichens help to form soil by breaking down rock surfaces through physical and chemical weathering processes. As they grow, they trap organic matter and moisture, which creates a suitable environment for other plants to establish themselves. Over time, the decomposition of these organisms contributes to the development of organic-rich soil.
What kinds of plants grow on rocks?
Plants that grow on rocks are called lithophytes and include species like mosses, lichens, succulents, and certain ferns. These plants have adapted to thrive in harsh conditions with limited soil by obtaining nutrients and water from the rocks they grow on. They are often found in rocky outcrops, cliffs, and other rocky habitats.
Primary succession?
Plnats grow on rocks like lichens and mosses.
Why are mosses and lichens sometimes called poineer plants?
Because Lichens and Mosses grow on barren rocks and help in the formation of soil.
What plants grow on the trink of the trees?
Lichens, mosses and fungi grow on the trunk of trees.
