Name: A.1425
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: Vegetation types included in this alliance have been described from montane wetlands in the Snoqualmie River and Skykomish River drainages in northwestern Washington. The climate is maritime and elevations range from 840-1235 m. Stands occupy the edges of lakes and ponds and wetlands with some open water. Sites are flat and are seasonally flooded. The dense herbaceous layer is dominated by the perennial graminoid ~Carex interior$ (50% cover) with many other wet-site graminoids, such as ~Carex vesicaria, Carex nigricans, Carex lenticularis$, and ~Calamagrostis canadensis$. The associated forb cover is relatively sparse and is composed of mesic species such as ~Caltha leptosepala ssp. howellii (= Caltha biflora), Dodecatheon jeffreyi, Hypericum anagalloides$, and ~Triantha glutinosa (= Tofieldia glutinosa)$. Adjacent stands include montane forests and riparian communities.
