Andrew's Moss Site

The main part of this site is a collection of photographs of mosses. There are about 200 moss photos, and more are being added all the time.

In addition to the photographs, there is a key for identifying mosses, originally based on the field key by Watson (see Acknowlegements) but altered. Note this key is only valid for north-west Europe.

Specifications

This site is designed for use with a broadband internet connection. Most of the photographs are 50-100 kb, which will takes about 15-20 seconds to download through a telephone connection and modem. However, photos displayed on the pages with identification keys are placed at the bottom of the page, so you can use the keys whilst they download in the background.
