Other claims from this paper (5)
- Mechanism Longevity of habitat patches of Marsupella profunda is limited mainly by competitive exclusion by other bryophytes and excessive shade from scrub development.
- Observation Marsupella profunda presently survives at only one of the six recorded sites in West Cornwall.
- Observation East Cornwall supports a large population of Marsupella profunda of 10,000–20,000 individual-equivalents.
- Observation The Marsupella profunda population in East Cornwall is declining because china clay production has decreased.
- Observation Attempts to conserve Marsupella profunda by special protection of areas of land have failed.
