Synopsis

Moss Eats Rocks explores the surprising role of mosses in reshaping our planet through chemical weathering. Often overlooked, these tiny plants actively break down rocks, influencing soil formation, nutrient cycling, and even climate regulation.

 
The book highlights the fascinating mechanisms by which mosses, using rhizoids and secreting organic acids, contribute significantly to biogeochemical cycles. It challenges the traditional view that weathering is solely driven by physical forces, revealing how mosses actively sculpt landscapes.

 
This book progresses from introducing basic weathering concepts and moss adaptations to detailing chemical processes and their ecological consequences across diverse environments, such as arctic tundra and temperate forests.

 
By examining plant-rock interactions at a micro-scale, using advanced imaging techniques, the book quantifies mosses' contribution to weathering rates. This interdisciplinary approach connects earth sciences, biology, and ecology, providing a unique understanding of moss-mediated weathering and its wider implications for carbon sequestration and environmental science.

Restoring Eden - Unearthing the...

Elizabeth D. Hilborn

All spring, Dr. Elizabeth Hilborn watched as her family fruit farm of many years became increasingly diminished, suffering from a lack of bees. 
 
 
 
The plentiful wildlife, so abundant just weeks before, was gone. Everything was still, silent. 
 
 
 
As an environmental scientist trained to investigate disease outbreaks, she rose to the challenge. Despite facing headwinds from skeptical neighbors, environmental experts, and agricultural consultants, she'd assembled information. 
 
 
 
The chemicals found in her water samples showed beyond any doubt that not only her farm, but her greater farming community, was at risk from toxic chemicals that traveled with rain water over the land and deep within the soil. 
 
 
 
Even as a scientist, she'd been unaware of the risks to life from some common agricultural chemicals. Her goal was to protect her farm and the animals who lived there. 
 
 
 
But first she had to convince her rural neighbors of the risk to their way of life, too. 
 
 
 
A lyrical celebration of nature by a passionate citizen scientist who felt called to advocate for the land, earth, and creatures who don't have a voice, Restoring Eden ultimately offers hope that citizens can create change, that reform is possible.
