"Can there be flora on Mars? Yes, says a recent study. It is known, that Mars has a very thin atmosphere, equivalent to Earth's atmosphere at 13 km. It's consistency is slightly different to ours, since oxygen is almost completely missing and the air is made of carbon dioxide and nitrogen. This does not rule out the possibility of plant life existing, since they require carbon dioxide and emit oxygen. Animals and humans instead require oxygen, so it's improbable for mars to have them, unless humans there have become so advanced to be able to chemically extract oxygen from other chemicals.
Latest studies have even shown, that light refracts from Mars is similar to lichen and moss. This would prove, that at least plant life would be found. Science usually doesn't guess, but uses facts and studies to draw their conclusions. But from Mars there have been many guesses, which seem very plausible.
It's been suggested that Mars could be a dying star, drawing it's last breath. Oxygen would be depleted and it has been suggested that the red color of Mars would be the result of oxygen bonding with the iron at the core, and forming rust, and the atmosphere being so thin, it could not stop the large changes in temperature.
If there are any humans on Mars, they would have to live in tightly closed off areas with oxygen heat. Scientist also say, that it is very possible that the life on the planet may be completely alien to us. For example, it it completely possible that animals there breath carbon dioxide instead of oxygen.
So when we go to Mars, we can expect almost anything, possibly we'll find a deserted, dead planet, where days are hot and nights freezing cold, and where only in the summer on the equator we may find moss growing. But we may find at the bottom of a ravine the remains of great ruins, which prove the existence of a highly developed civilization, which once lived on this planet.
