From the three tree categories (sheltered, partially sheltered, and exposed) 10 trees were randomly selected and examined for the presence of living moss. Data collection was on March 14 and started at 4:00 and finished at 5:30 when all 30 locations were examined, the weather was cloudy and slightly rainy that day. Currently the living moss present on the three different tree categories shows no significant different. Right now the presence of living moss seems to be fairly constant across the different categories. This goes against my hypothesis that there will be an increase of living moss on more sheltered trees. More research is needed to further determine the relation of living moss on different levels of exposed trees.
