新疆科学家发现具有极强适应力的苔藓,或可在火星存活
中新社乌鲁木齐7月5日电(胡嘉琛)近日,中国科学院新疆生态与地理研究所传出喜讯,该所研究团队在科考过程中发现了一种具有极强适应能力的苔藓——齿肋赤藓。据专家介绍,这种苔藓能够在极端环境下存活,甚至有可能在火星上存活,这一发现引起了科学界的广泛关注。
据了解,该研究团队经过长期观察和实验,发现齿肋赤藓具有独特的生理机能和强大的适应能力。它能够在极度干燥、高温或低氧等极端条件下生存。因此,科学家们推测这种苔藓可能也能在火星这样的极端环境中存活。这一研究成果近日已在学术期刊《创新》上发表。
该发现对于探索外星生命具有重要意义。火星作为离地球最近的行星之一,一直是科学家们寻找外星生命的重要目标。此次发现的齿肋赤藓可能为未来的火星生命探索提供重要线索和依据。科学家们表示,他们将深入研究这种苔藓的适应机制,以期在未来为太空生物学提供更多有价值的发现。
此次重大发现展示了新疆科学家们的实力和贡献,也彰显了我国在科学研究领域的进步和发展。随着科研技术的不断进步和创新,我们有理由相信,未来我国科学家将在更多领域取得重大突破和发现。

Xinjiang scientists have discovered extremely resilient mosses that could potentially survive on Mars.
China News Service, Urumqi, July 5th (reported by Hu Jiachen) – Recently, there was good news from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The research team discovered a kind of moss with extremely strong adaptability during their scientific research – the Frullania hepatica. According to experts, this moss can survive in extreme environments and even on Mars, which has attracted widespread attention in the scientific community.
It is understood that after long-term observation and experimentation, the research team found that Frullania hepatica has unique physiological functions and strong adaptability. It can survive in extreme conditions such as extreme dryness, high temperature or low oxygen. Therefore, scientists speculate that this moss may also be able to survive in such extreme environments like Mars. This research has been published in the academic journal “Innovation”.
This discovery is of great significance for exploring alien life. As one of the nearest planets to the Earth, Mars has always been an important target for scientists to search for extraterrestrial life. The discovery of Frullania hepatica may provide important clues and evidence for future exploration of life on Mars. Scientists said they will further study the adaptation mechanism of this moss, hoping to make more valuable discoveries for space biology in the future.
This major discovery showcases the strength and contributions of Xinjiang scientists, as well as highlights the progress and development of China in the field of scientific research. With the continuous progress and innovation of scientific research technology, we have reason to believe that Chinese scientists will make major breakthroughs and discoveries in more fields in the future.
