Dear Victor,
I know that bryophytes in sub-boreal conifer forests can intercept
rainfall and prevent it from reaching the forest floor, preventing the
roots from getting it. However, their role in storage probably only
benefits them since that water never reaches the next layer down. It
sounds like an interesting question to pursue. We had multiple water
collectors in pairs (with and without mosses) to measure rainfall at the
microhabitat scale. It was interesting to discover dry soil under the
mosses.
