Aulacomnium palustre, known as the bog groove moss or ribbed bog moss, is a moss with a nearly cosmopolitan distribution across North America, Hispaniola, Venezuela, Eurasia and New Zealand. In North America it ranges through the southern arctic, subboreal and boreal regions from Alaska and British Columbia to Greenland and Quebec, with scattered occurrences further south. It is recognized by its bright yellowish green to green leaves, which give clumps a glowing appearance against reddish brown stems, and by its strongly ribbed, cylindrical spore capsule; it typically forms clumps or lawns in wetland habitats.

On the Svalbard archipelago in Norway, ribbed bog moss grows on small "bird islands" where eiders, Arctic terns, and other migratory birds nest offshore of the main island, Spitsbergen.
In Ecosystem: Heath, Habitat types and plant communities
In unforested northern communities, ribbed bog moss is found in sedge (Carex spp.) meadows, sphagnum (Sphagnum spp.) peatlands, heath-sedge fens, and willow (Salix spp.)-dominated fens.
