Artic moss has adapted well to its cold climate. When it is not growing, it stores nutrients so new leaves can be made quickly next spring. The more leaves the more they can photosynthesize. It is adapted to the incredibly strong winds because it grows near to the ground. Because it can grow under water it is protected from the drying winds and cold, dry air of the frozen tundra. Its long life and slow growth are probably adaptations to the short growing season and the cold.

In the arctic, moss covers the ground and warms it up allowing other plants to grow. It is eaten by migrating animals such as birds. Some type of arctic moss was frozen for thousands of years and is helping scientists learn about life on our planet.

Which tree could be a roost for a suicidal tomtit?

Tom-Tit in the Mikado On a tree by a river, a little tom-tit Sang "Willow, tit-willow, tit-willow!" And I said to him, "Dicky-bird, why do you sit Singing 'Willow, tit-willow, tit-willow'?" "Is it weakness of intellect, birdie?" I cried, "Or a rather tough worm in your little inside?" With a shake of his poor little head, he replied, "Oh, willow, tit-willow, tit-willow!" He slapped at his chest, as he sat on that bough, Singing "Willow, tit-willow, tit-willow!" And a cold perspiration bespangled his brow, Oh, willow, tit-willow, tit-willow! He sobbed and he sighed, and a gurgle he gave, Then he plunged himself into the billowy wave, And an echo arose from the suicide's grave-- "Oh, willow, tit-willow, tit-willow!" Now I feel just as sure as I'm sure that my name Isn't Willow, tit-willow, tit-willow, That 'twas blighted affection that made him exclaim "Oh, willow, tit-willow, tit-willow!" And if you remain callous and obdurate, I Shall perish as he did, and you will know why, Though I probably shall not exclaim as I die, "Oh, willow, tit-willow, tit-willow!" Roost for a suicidal tomtit
