Mielichhofer's copper moss has a broad but highly disjunctive distribution in the Northern Hemisphere including Europe, Russia, and North America; it should be considered rare throughout its range. In North America, it is presently known from several widely scattered
The so-called copper mosses include a number of rare species that exhibit very broad intercontinental geographic distri-butions comprised of highly disjunct occurrences. In one species, Scopelophila cataractae, only the haploid gametophyte generation exists in the United States, although sporophytes occur in tropical America and in Asia.

Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the “copper moss”
2018年2月2日 · This study provides the complete MG sequence of the “copper moss” Mielichhoferia elongata consisting of 100,342 base pairs. It is the smallest known mitochondrial genome among bryophytes and non-parasitic tracheophytes.
Genetic biogeography of the rate “copper moss”, - Springer
Scopelophila cataractae, one of the so-called “copper mosses”, has a broad geographic distribution that includes North, Central, and South America, Europe, and Asia, but is rare throughout its range. A genetic analysis of 32 populations from the United States, Europe, and Asia based on 15 putative allozyme loci indicates that levels of ...

About six bryophyte species (including both mosses and liverworts) are generally thought to be restricted to copper-enriched substrates and are consequently known as “copper mosses.” One of these, Scopelophila cataractae (Pottiaceae), is known from several sites in southern Arizona and occurs at six localities in the eastern United States.
Several species of bryophytes (mosses and liverworts) have been known to grow on substrates (principally rocks) that have greater than the normal content of copper or other metals. Species having this substrate requirement or "preference" are known as copper mosses, although some are associated with metals other than copper
