Global Range: Buxbaumia aphylla is ". widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere: Greenland; central Alaska and the Yukon to British Columbia and Montana; Michigan and Ontario to Newfoundland, southward along the Coastal Plain and also in the mountains to North Carolina. Also reported from arctic Alaska, Colorado, eastern Iowa, and southern Illinois" (Crum & Anderson 1981). Smith (1980) gives the ranges as Europe, Caucasus, N. Asia, Japan, N. America and New Zealand. Found throughout Fennoscandia (Nyholm 1954-69). Schofield (1974) provides a generalized world map of the species.

Habitat

Comments: In North America, a pioneer of disturbed, acid, sandy or clayey soils, often on the banks of roads or woodland trails, sometimes on old logs and stumps, exposed or in partial shade in moist forests and also dry, open woods, often successional to fire (Crum & Anderson 1981). In southeastern Newfoundland it occurs in Kalmia heaths (Hancock & Brassard 1973).
