In modern ornamental gardening, there are many types and varieties of plants. In recent decades, representatives of bryophytes group (Bryophyta), in particular, silver Brium (Bryum argenteum Hedw.), have been especially popular. This moss is not only one of the most popular moss types used for decorative purposes, but it can also be considered a good subject for biomonitoring. Bryophytes are used as sources of information about environment state, which directly affects surrounding living objects life. The use of bryophytes makes it possible to detect places of pollution, to assess the harmfulness of pollutants, which, in turn, makes it possible to assess of environment changes rate. During our research, illumination level influence on the growth and development of silver Brium, in particular on the indicators of plant height and the number of plants per unit area, was established.
