Moss on Rocks: Evaluating biodeterioration and bioprotection of bryophytic growth on stone masonry

Abstract:

Lower plants and organisms growing on cultural heritage sites have been identified as key sources of biodeterioration and degradation of the underlying substrates. Within this field, bryophytes (mosses) have been relatively under-researched and the effects of their growth on heritage sites is comparatively unknown.

The main aim of this thesis is to characterize the impacts of moss growth on historic limestone masonry, and to determine if their presence on built structures can be ca...
