So, which locations on Mars' surface are the most hospitable for this moss? (considering radiation, temperature and water levels)

Also, is a highly irradiated monoculture going to be a stable O2 producer, or is the species going to experience some mutated spinoffs?

Probably a simpler way would be to just start-the-reactor.

Probably the bottom of the valley marineres, where the air pressure is higher and there's less wind erosion.
