taigaSchreber's big red stem moss typically occurs as a dominant or codominant ground
cover in stands dominated by white spruce (Picea glauca) or black
spruce (P. mariana). The black spruce-Schreber's big red stem moss forest community
described by Foster [
13] is the most widespread vegetation type in
southern Labrador and occupies a wide range of sites from poorly drained
outwash plains to convex slopes and hill crests. In the black spruce/
bog blueberry (Vaccinium uliginosum)-bog Labrador tea (Ledum
groenlandicum)/Schreber's big red stem moss community type described by Foote [
12],
Schreber's big red stem moss commonly covers about half of the forest floor.
