| | Schreber's Feathermoss |
 | | schreberi, from the Latin, "of Schreber, Schreber's", named for German botanist Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber (1739-1810),a student of Linnaeus. |
 | | Given a shady, humid, high-nutrient environment as is found on the cool, basal slopes of Black Spruce-White Spruce-Feathermoss stands, Schreber's moss is a very effective competitor against other species. |
 | | It is not until favorable edaphic conditions and a closed or nearly closed canopy is established that Schreber's moss can spread and form a continuous moss cover. |
