Moss and Micro-landscapes: A Small Patch of Wet Ecology

A small-scale humid micro-landscape. In a shallow trough embedded in the ground or countertop, thick moss is laid, showing varying shades of green and a dense, velvety texture; scattered among it are a few naturally shaped stones, with moss creeping up the shaded sides of the stones; a few small ferns and a tiny tree seedling; fallen leaves and a small dead branch on the soil surface. The entire scene is less than one square meter in size, but its internal layers and details are extremely rich, allowing for close, prolonged viewing. Above, there is soft, diffused light and a timed fine misting system for water supply, with visible moisture in the air. Avoid: using artificial moss and plastic stones, making the arrangement symmetrical and regular, enlarging the scale to become a regular flower bed, using strong direct light.

一個小尺度的濕潤微地景。在一個嵌入地面或檯面的淺槽中,鋪著厚厚的苔蘚,呈現深淺不一的綠與細密的絨狀質地;其間散置幾塊自然形狀的石頭,苔蘚順著石頭的背陰面向上蔓延;幾株小型的蕨類與一支小樹苗;土面上有落葉與一小段枯枝。整個景的尺寸不到一平方公尺,但內部的層次與細節極為豐富,可以近距離長時間觀看。上方有一道柔和的散射光與定時的細霧供水系統,空氣中可以看見水氣。避免:使用人造苔蘚與塑膠石、把配置做成對稱規則、放大尺度變成一般花圃、使用強烈的直射光。
