Habitat

Comments: As an alpine species, grows in the crevices of wet cliffs (Crum and Anderson 1981). In Great Britain, found on soil in crevices of basic rock, frequent in montane areas (Smith 1980). The species grows in similar habitats as the foregoing in Fennoscandia (Nyholm 1965-69). In eastern Canada, on wet dripping rocks, often in spray zones of waterfalls (Ireland 1982).

Reasons: Plagiobryum zieri is an alpine moss found growing in the crevices of wet cliffs. The widely distributed species is infrequent or scattered in mountains from Greenland and arctic Alaska south to Newfoundland, Labrador, Vermont in eastern North America and south to Washington, Alberta, Idaho, and Colorado in the west. The moss is frequent in mountainous areas throughout Great Britain, Europe and Scandinavia, and known also from the Caucasus, China, Japan, Turkestan, Siberia, and eastern India.

Ecology and Life History

Short General Description:

Mosses in dense, soft tufts, shiny, white or yellowish and often tinged with pink. Stems red or pink, considerably forked by julaceous innovations. Leaves of innovations 1-2 mm long, crowded and erect or imbricate, thin and soft, concave, ovate or broadly oblong-ovate, acute and rather abruptly narrowed to a short, reflexed point; margins plane and entire; costa reddish, ending in or slightly below the leaf point. Leaves of the fruiting axis oblong-lanceolate, with margins irregularly recurved. Capsules horizontal or somewhat pendulous, the neck up to about twice the length of the urn; peristome teeth somewhat shorter than the endostome, very finely or obscurely papillose (Crum and Anderson 1981).
