Landscape Narrative	Adjacent wetland communities include Alnus thicket grading to spruce swamp, and Leersia oryzoides, Scirpus. Upland is northern hardwoods with spruce. Adjacent wilderness area and part of Botanical Area (USFS).;Herb community dominated by Carex lacustris grading to dominance by Carex utriculata in very wet alluvial bottom around meandering sloughs and muddy bottomed channels. Standing water at sampling date possibly due to rains upstream a few days ago, but may remain flooded most of the time. Sphagnum is confined to edge of community adjacent to alder.
Representativeness	Most of small patch of Carex lacustris dominance in plot. Small slop from Leersia type in wetter ground and grades towards Carex utriculata towards outside edge of community.
