A field study of the distribution patterns of six closely related species of mosses along a complex altitudinal gradient found evidence suggesting differential aggressiveness among juveniles rather than evidence of differential competitive abilities among adults of the species. Work by Bopp (1963, 1968) on the moss phytohormone, factor H, suggests a means by which such interactions might be mediated. An experimental system is proposed through which the effect of patterns of early moss development upon the determination of moss community structure may be assessed.
一项对六种密切相关的苔藓物种在复杂海拔梯度上分布模式的野外研究发现，有证据表明幼体之间存在不同的攻击性，而不是物种成体之间存在不同的竞争能力。Bopp（1963 年，1968 年）对苔藓植物激素因子 H 的研究表明，这可能是介导这种相互作用的一种方式。提出了一个实验系统，可以通过该系统评估早期苔藓发育模式对苔藓群落结构决定的影响。
