Soil formation is hard process and takes decades. Our project targets to cover forsaken and naked rocks with our completely natural method by using moss "Amblystegium serpens". Moss culture are going to be mixed with the mycose fungi "Paxillus involutus" which is mutualistic to our moss. The fungi, aforementioned, is chosen by literature research. This microsystem, made by fungi and moss, is going to accelarate soil formation by degrading rocks, cover naked rocks likewise carpets,avoid erosion, create perfect green landscape as in parks. To sum up, biodiversity is going to increase in couple of years.
