Nugget moss (Microbryum vlassovii) COSEWIC assessment and status report: chapter 8

Limiting Factors and Threats

One potential threat to this species' habitats is road construction or maintenance. Both areas are adjacent to roadways and road expansion. Although not planned at either area, roadway changes may affect the lower portions of the banks where, at least in the case of the Penticton site, nugget moss is found. Recreational hiking is also a concern as both of the reported locations in British Columbia are near residential areas.
