  Main issues you have on Mars are less the temperature and the CO2 levels and more the lack of magnetic field, as well as just how thin the atmosphere is. These are interrelated, of course, as a lack of magnetic field means the solar wind scours off Mars' atmosphere faster than it could be replaced. Terraforming efforts would need to address this problem before any other-- though there would also be the matter of toxins in the Martian soil that would need to be sequestered and removed, such as perchlorates.

  I think the authors of this kind research are trying to demonstrate that such mosses could in fact withstand the Martian conditions, not grow in them. In some research, though by no means all, they do make it clear that the mosses do not actively grow in the conditions and do go into a dormancy, but then do grow if, and only if, the favorable conditions returned allowing the moss to revive itself. I think this is the point more than what is being pointed to by people who have just taken the fact that the moss can withstand conditions in a state of dormancy and have said "oh well therefore the moss can grow on Mars". Enduring in a dormant state and actively growing are major differences where life is concerned, with any organism failing to grow eventually dying no matter how long it can stay dormant. The fact such organisms do go dormant in such conditions in the first place tells us more about how really inhospitable Mars will be to Earth life; even the most hardiest of organisms will go dormant pretty much as long as they can do in what are considered the normal conditions there. Observing any change to that independent of restoring Earth conditions is the more interesting next step and as with tardigrades it has not been demonstrated.

• 
  @newbotanyАй бұрын

  Thanks for your excellent and interesting comment. In addition to only being able to "survive" on Mars, and not grow, I can confirm that Syntrichia mosses in fact grow only slowly on earth, crusts my take years to develop and being tiny they will not be able to add much O2 to the atmosphere. Personally I'm more interested in using vascular plants that could possibly both survive AND grow if the precise seeding location and method is selected. I have ideas on this and will make a video over the next couple of weeks

• 
  @newbotanyАй бұрын

  The percentage CO2 on Mars is very high, though the atmosphere is very thin at 6.5 mbar. I think the very low pressure and high CO2 would make it difficult for any earth organism to adapt to. And the whole of our troposphere up to about 12 miles has a fairly constant composition. In terraforming Mars, plants have to grow and multiply over the long term, not just survive. That's not enough. Many thanks for your comment!

  The martian atmosphere is too thin and lacks other important greenhouse gases like water vapor and methane.

• 
  @Tjalve70Ай бұрын

  Is the CO2 toxicity based on the percentage of the atmosphere, or on the partial pressure of the gas? Even though Mars has 95% CO2, it is only 15 times higher than the CO2 partial pressure on Earth. So what could be done to test that, is to try to grow this moss in a vacuum chamber, where the CO2 level is 5%, but the pressure is 100 mb. There should of course be sufficient water there as well, to make sure the moss doesn't dry out.
