Caribou and muskoxen overwinter on this mat, scraping snow to expose Cladonia and Cetraria fronds. Extremely slow growth — a square metre may take fifty years to recover from a single trampling. The mat is the primary decomposer-symbiont engine of the polar desert / tundra ecotone, fixing nitrogen and weathering rock into soil.",
