Cutaneous (skin) sporotrichosis is the most common form of the infection.Skin on the hands or arms is most commonly affected. It occurs when the fungus enters the skin through a small cut or scrape, usually after someone touches contaminated plant matter. Cutaneous (skin) infection is the most common form of the infection. 1, 2 People get sporotrichosis by coming in contact with the fungal spores in the environment. This fungus lives throughout the world in soil and on plant matter such as sphagnum moss, rose bushes, and hay. 48: 289-302.Sporotrichosis (also known as “rose gardener’s disease”) is an infection caused by a fungus called Sporothrix. Evaporation from a sphagnum moss surface. When the peat cores were maintained in the greenhouse for a year, changes in either the peat, the moss, or both occurred which resulted in significantly lower evaporation when measured in the growth chamber. The presence of an overstory of grasses and sedges protected the moss from desiccation when the water level was 15 cm below the surface, but had no effect on total water vaporization at any water level. Evaporation from the moss was less when the water level was at the surface of the peat than when it was lowered to 5, 10, or 15 cm below the surface. The energy used in evaporation from the moss exceeded net radiation except at 9☌. Evaporation from the moss increased 92% as the temperature was raised from 9° to 25☌.
Under all conditions, evaporation from the moss surface was greater than that from a free-water surface. Peat cores, 45 cm in diameter, were collected from a sphagnum bog in northern Minnesota, and used to measure the effects of different temperatures and water levels on evaporation from a sphagnum moss surface in a growth chamber.
