The measurements showed progressive absorption of water by the moss through much of the night. The moss reached sufficient water content for about 1.5h of positive net CO2 uptake immediately after dawn. The cumulative net carbon balance on this occasion was negative, but mornings with heavier dew could give a positive daily carbon balance, and short, early morning periods of photosynthesis during prolonged dry weather may mitigate long-term desiccation damage and allow for regular molecular repair.
