- •
Morphology, sex expression and sex ratio variability were studied in P. pururm moss.
- •
We found no significant correlations with the levels of pollution at any study sites.
- •
However, plants from the most polluted sites were generally smaller.
- •
These mosses can therefore accumulate fewer pollutants than mosses from clean sites.
- •
Intraspecific P. purum morphological variability affects the results of biomonitoring studies.
