  • Moss drapes from the thick brances of old-growth bigleaf maple trees (Acer macrophyllum) that are beginning to show their fall colors in the Hall of Mosses, part of the Hoh Rain Forest in Olympic National Park, Washington. The Hoh Rain Forest is a temperate forest, receiving between 140 and 170 inches (355 to 432 centimeters) of rain per year. The lush forest has been named by UNESCO as both a World Heritage Site and a Biosphere Reserve.

  • Moss begins to overtake the rocky landscape within the blast zone at Mount St. Helens National Monument, Washington. This image was captured nearly 30 years after the violent May 18, 1980 eruption. The first wildflowers began to appear in this spot about 20 years after the eruption.

  • Heavy moss hangs from four old-growth sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) trees in the Hoh Rain Forest in Olympic National Park, Washington. The Hoh Rain Forest is one of the largest temperate rain forests in the United States. The sitka spruce trees can grow to be 300 feet (100 meters) tall, with a diameter of 16 feet (5 meters). Trees in the Hoh Rain Forest can grow to tremendous size as the area receives an average of 150 inches (4 meters) of rain annually.

  • Moss, ferns, and trees grow from a large rock outcropping near the Minister Valley in Allegheny National Forest in Warren, Pennsylvania. The Allegheny Front was once part of a vast delta and layers of a hard, sandstone congolomerate were deposited. Between 250 and 320 million years ago, the Allegheny Front was lifted, forming hills and mountains. Over time, erosion exposed, split, or dislodged and moved the former sedimentary rock, resulting in large rock outcroppings.

  • Special properties in the bark of a Giant Sequoia tree (Sequoiadendron giganteum), center, protect the tree from damage that affects other trees. Chemical tannins in the bark and wood resist disease, rot, insects, and other causes of decay. Its thick, fibrous bark also provides insulation against fire. A tree that isn't similarly protected (left) is covered with moss. The Giant Sequoia's unique properties can help it live 3,000 years or more.

  • An arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus), displaying its white winter coat, looks out from behind a rock on the mossy hillside above Fossárvik in southeastern Iceland. The arctic fox is also known as the white fox, polar fox, or snow fox, though it displays its pure white form only in the winter months. Arctic foxes, found throughout the Arctic tundra, are small with a body length of less than 3 feet (85 cm). To survive in such a harsh environment, they have very deep fur and a rounded body shape, which minimizes the portion of their body that is exposed to the elements.
