- A new species of ‘moss’ in Antarctica named ‘Bryum bhartiensis’ after goddess ‘Saraswati’
Polar biologists from the Central University of Punjab have discovered a new species of plant in Antarctica . The specimens of this species were collected during the 2016-2017 expedition. After five years of study on these samples, scientists have finally confirmed this new species from Antarctica. Scientists have named this new species ‘ Bryum bhartiensis ‘ after the goddess ‘ Saraswati ‘ ( also known as ‘ Bharti ‘) . Know that plants need nitrogen along with potassium, phosphorus, sunlight and water to survive. Whereas only 1 percent of Antarctica is free of ice, in such a situation the biggest question was that ‘ Kai ‘ ( Moss)How did this particular species survive in this area in rock and ice? Scientists found in their study that this type of ‘moss’ is mainly found in areas where penguins breed in large numbers. Penguin feces contain nitrogen. As such, these plants basically survive on the feces of penguins, which helps them to survive in this specific climate. It should be noted that this discovery is important for the Indian Antarctica Mission, as it is the first time that a species of plant has been discovered since the mission’s launch in 1981. India’s first station in Antarctica was established in the year 1984, which was buried in the ice in the year 1990.
