“The Tortula-Crossidium micro-zone (Figures 5.5) is dominated by acrocarpous mosses with a colonist strategy. Characteristic taxa, mainly of the pottioid genera, have⟳ a moderately short life-span (pauciennial, i.e. 1–3 years with a resting stage⟳ as spores, to pluriennial, i.e. several years, with seasonality of the gametophyte less distinct) and build⟳ predominantly short-turfs or bulbiformous solitary plants on the clayey-sandy crusts.”
