At the height of the war, providing enough bandages for British troops was a critical problem. But the presence of these substances also helped mosses, specifically sphagnum moss, come to the rescue in a big way during World War I. For example, sterols help them adapt to changing temperatures amino acids improve their consumption of nitrogen and antioxidants help them deal with the stressors in their environment. Mosses contain a number of chemical compounds that help them survive and protect them from being munched on by predators.

During World War I, moss was used for packing the wounds of countless injured soldiers, saving lives on the front lines. But hiding beneath moss’s plain exterior is a hidden superpower: the ability to heal. You might’ve even stepped on some during your last walk without even noticing. At first glance, moss might seem kind of boring.

Huge thanks go to the following Patreon supporters for helping us keep SciShow free for everyone forever:Īlisa Sherbow, Silas Emrys, Drew Hart. Support SciShow by becoming a patron on Patreon: SciShow has a spinoff podcast! It's called SciShow Tangents. Thank you for everything that you do for us, it really does mean the world to us.You may not think much about moss, but it has a hidden super power, and it's been used to save countless lives. For this reason we’ll always prioritize creating content FOR YOU, and not for brands, or the ever-changing algorithm. Having you guys supporting us in the Kombi Crew blows us away and we thank you at start of every day of work. That coupled with having 4 months of our AdSense revenue stolen, and you can imagine that our channel would have gone bust in 2018 if it hadn’t been for you guys enabling us to create our series. This year has been testing for us with both demonetization and adpocalypse affecting Kombi Life significantly. That said, we do want out content to be sustainable so that we can continue to create top quality content. Our goal is, as it always has been to generate the best content that we can, not to get rich. Even if that means we spend months on the filming and are unable to edit and upload during that time. We know that you guys have our backs regardless, (because you’re awesome) but we want you to know this so that you can see that we are 100% about making the best content that we can and not about making money. In fact, unlike most creators on Patreon, we uploaded far more free posts than paid posts in 2018.

During those months we did upload videos, and bonus content, but we never clicked “Accept Patron Pledges”. Did you know that in 2018 there were 3 whole months that we didn’t upload a “Paid Posts on Patreon, even though you guys had our backs to support our content.
