Breutelia affinis
Breutelia affinis is a lush bryophyte, defined by dense, green mats that often cover forest floors or cling to moist rocks. This moss features tiny, overlapping leaves that form a weaved pattern, aiding in water retention and nutrient uptake. Breutelia affinis thrives in shaded, damp habitats, where its presence indicates a stable microecosystem and high humidity. Its cushion-like clusters contribute to an intricate ecosystem, offering microhabitats for invertebrates.
