 note = {The Stone chamber of the Bun’eji Temple was cleaned and treated with hydrophobic resin in 1986. However, the northern side of the upper surface of the chamber is now almost completely covered with mosses. On the contrary, on the southern side, mosses are hardly observed and the surface is covered only with lichens. This difference is thought to have been brought by the following factors: 1. difference in the surface roughness between the northern and southern sides, and 2. difference in the proportion of the open space. The rough surface on the northern side keeps water more than the smooth surface on the southern side. The low proportion of open space on the northern side reduces the evaporation rate. The mosses are considered to have grown due to the fact that water tends to stay longer on the northern side. In this case, hydrophobic treatment may have contributed to make the water stay longer, i.e. the treatment might have accelerated the growth of mosses under the condition that the evaporation rate is low. Though it is not yet ascertained whether or not mosses directly damage the host rocks, the existence of mosses indicates that the host rock under them is damaged. Therefore, it is necessary to accelerate evaporation on the northern side in order to conserve the stone chamber well. Making the proportion of open space higher, e.g. by cutting branches of the tree, may be one possibility for conservation.},
