### bryophyte | moss:

Ball moss
* is an air plant commonly seen in scrub
  - epiphyte that grows on the bark
  - closely related to the better known Spanish moss
* prefers an environment with low sunlight intensity and high humidity.

Irish moss
* has demulcent and emollient properties.
* is also present
  - one of several types of seaweed, growing along the shores of the north Atlantic
  - red algae
* thickens homemade nut milks, soups, and smoothies.

### bryophyte | moss:

Peat moss
* Most peat moss is composed primarily of sphagnum moss.
* boosts acidity, organic matter, and moisture at the same time.
* expands and contracts when it is subject to wetting and drying cycles.
* is acidic and holds water very well.
* is best to use, followed by pine bark, leaf mold, and then sawdust
  - pine bark, leaf mold, sawdust, and peanut hulls
  - devoid of nutrients
  - difficult to work into soil
  - expensive but good source of organic matter
  - ideal for most ornamentals
  - notorious for taking forever to saturate with water
  - obtained from bogs which are destroyed by the removal of the moss
  - usually available in moist or dry forms
  - well known for high porosity and perlite has a similar property
* loosens clay soils and binds sandy soils.
* protects soil from hardening and adds organic material.
* restructures the soil, whereas compost provides nutrients.
* tends to shed water and it splashes blooms badly during hard rains.

Pleurocarpous moss
* have a main stem of unlimited growth , and usually much-branched
  - highly branched, prostrate stems
* is moss
* tend to form spreading carpets rather than erect tufts.

### bryophyte | moss:

Spanish moss
* appears as a green-gray moss that hangs on tree limbs.
* common epiphyte growing among the crowns of trees.
* grows as far north as Virginia
  - on trees and is protected from herbivores
* is an epiphyte that is related to the pineapple
  - another epiphyte
  - great for placing at the base of houseplants to hide the dirt
  - herbaceous plants
  - limited to warm, humid areas of the southern and coastal regions of the state
  - most evident in trees that are declining due to some other reason
  - native from the coast to the lower piedmont in South Carolina
* is neither Spanish nor moss
  - or moss, it is an epiphyte, a rootless fragment of a plant
  - rootless, living attached to the trunks and branches of trees
* long, whisker-like plant growth which hangs from trees.
* popular southern Tillandsia.
* produces spores, much like other epiphytes.
* study in contradictions.

Sphagnum
* contributes more to peat accumulation than vascular plants.
* creates bogs by holding water and creating acidic conditions.
* is moss

### bubbles:

Gaseous particle
* are 'bubbles'.
+ Particle size (general): Chemistry
  * Larger objects are usually called stone, rock, a piece of something, etc. The term 'particle' indicates small size, usually less than centimeter. Particle might be either solid, or liquid, or even gas. Liquid particles are called 'droplets'. Gaseous particles are 'bubbles'. All of them can be characterised in terms of size.

### buddha-nature:

Impermanence
* denies the control of gods.
* is Buddha-nature
  - built into the very structure of the world
  - durations
  - from the point of view of space
  - length

### buddha-nature | impermanence:

Transience
* is impermanence
* is the fading of memory with the passage of time

* are a legitimate expense of performing university research
  - intangible costs
