Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: Stands of this widespread western grassland alliance require seasonally to permanently saturated soils. Stands cannot tolerate permanent standing water, but often grow on the saturated soils surrounding a permanent water body, or on depressions subject to seasonal flooding. Stands are found from sea level to 2500 m elevation in meadows, seeps, swales, and shorelines. Water chemistry is fresh. Precipitation averages from 50-250 cm per year, and falls mostly from November to May. Stands of this western wetland herbaceous alliance are dominated by one or more species of ~Eleocharis$. Species may include ~Eleocharis quinqueflora (= Eleocharis pauciflora), Eleocharis palustris, Eleocharis montevidensis$, and/or ~Eleocharis rostellata$. Other species present may include ~Muhlenbergia asperifolia, Oreostemma alpigenum (= Aster alpigenus), Carex utriculata, Carex$ spp., ~Schoenoplectus americanus (= Scirpus americanus), Scirpus$ spp., ~Oxypolis occidentalis, Triglochin palustris, Phleum alpinum, Juncus nevadensis, Mimulus primuloides, Crassula aquatica$, and ~Callitriche hermaphroditica$.
