A walk close to EMBL Hidelberg shows a wonderful Forrest filled with incredible nature and beauty. It’s a walk that many scientists take. Here are a few posts describing tiny little treasures hiding. Here is some moss from the forest - with a discussion on how/why moss is porous?

I am thinking about a systematic comparison between moss leaf architecture and plant leaves. Would be fun.

Keep exploring
