Description

Porsild's bryum is a small moss that is naturally rare and widely scattered throughout the northern hemisphere. In Canada, there are a total of 17 known populations with six of these occurring in Alberta. The Alberta Porsild's Bryum Recovery Plan identifies actions required to maintain or restore the current provincial status of the species. This report was commissioned to analyze habitat, substrate, and hydrological data collected from several Porsild's bryum populations and subpopulations in Alberta, and to interpret the findings as they relate to the goals and objectives of the provincial recovery plan for the species.
