Hookeriaceae

Hookeriaceae are a family of mosses with notable adaptive traits, thriving predominantly in humid, shaded environments. These mosses are characterized by their delicate, feathery appearance, consisting of elongated leaves that often form dense, green carpets over the forest floor or tree bases. Their ability to retain moisture and nutrients in challenging habitats highlights evolutionary ingenuity, making them crucial for ecological balance and soil formation in their ecosystems.
