Spread of Leptodontium viticulosoides (Bryopsida) after Balsam Woolly Aphid infestation of Fraser Fir
Zander RH. 1980. Spread of Leptodontium viticulosoides (Bryopsida) after Balsam Woolly Aphid infestation of Fraser Fir. Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club. 107(1):7-8
ABSTRACT: In the southern Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, the high elevation moss Leptodontium viticulosoides (P. Beauv.) Wijk & Marg. is apparently spreading into new habitats affected by the con- tinued dispersal of the Balsam Woolly Aphid, Chermes piceae Ratz., in the Spruce-Fir forest. This is true at least at Waterrock Knob, a mountain in Jackson County.
