location
Lower Trenta valley, right bank of river Soča; between villages Soča and Trenta; near Soča 48 abandoned cottage, East Julian Alps (Posočje, Slovenia)notes Slo.: krhki labodovratec - Habitat: small former pasture, now partly overgrown with bushes (Corylus avellana dominant) and scattered small trees (Fraxinus ornus, Ostrya carpinifolia, Picea abies); calcareous ground; slightly inclined mountain slope, southeast aspect; warm, half sunny, dry place; exposed to direct rain, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevations 635 m (2.080 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: shallow sandy soil. - Comments (pertain to pictures in Flicker album Campylopus fragilis): Campylopus fragilis is a wide spread species (Europe, Africa, Asia) yet nowhere a common moss. In Slovenia it is a rare species. It usually appears in small patches not much greater than a few square decimeters. Such is also the case in this observation. Its 'specialty' are deciduous leaves. They are almost white when they fall off. Many times they appear abundantly and make the species easy to recognize. - Ref.: (1) Personal communication (conf.) with doc.dr.
