Abstract
The rare copper moss, Scopelophila cataractae was recently collected in the vicinity of a zinc smelter at Palmerton, Pennsylvania. The plants and their substrates were highly enriched with zinc and cadmium, but not copper. Scopelophila cataractae and Anomobryum filiforme are new in Pennsylvania.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
