|discussion=<p>Plants of Pleurozium schreberi are generally forest dwellers and rarely inhabit Arctic tundra. Arctic specimens often have long, slender, sparsely branched stems. An extreme example is the nomenclatural type of the var. tananae. In addition to the reduced branching and slender stems, its leaves are appressed-imbricate and somewhat smaller than the typical range for the species given in the description above. The distal leaf margins are slightly inrolled, so the apex appears obtuse to rounded rather than apiculate. Such specimens from Arctic tundra may be interpreted as rare forms of the species induced by the lower nutrient and harsher climatic conditions present outside of the normal forest habitat.</p>
