My first time finding and photographing Metzgeria conjugata, or Rock veilwort.

Several long, flat ribbons of green tissue cascade down a rock, with a single vein-like structure in the middle. They fork neat their ends, and are fringed with tiny white hairs. They are extremely small; grains in the rock are visible next to them.

Christmas is here and we are happy to announce that our review on "Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline" is online as preprint at @biorxivpreprint:

Happy reading and commenting 😉
Cheers 🏔️🦠🌱🪱
