Name: A.1426
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance includes Coastal Plain depression meadows, dominated by ~Carex striata (= Carex walteriana)$. Associations include vegetation on the outer margins of Coastal Plain pondshores in New York and Delaware or in localized swales in the New Jersey pine barrens. Substrate is typically composed of sand and gravel, but some community types may occur on organic muck. ~Carex striata$ usually occurs in dense stands with few other associates, which may include seedlings of ~Cephalanthus occidentalis$ and ~Acer rubrum$, as well as ~Cladium mariscoides, Rhexia virginica$, and ~Panicum hemitomon$. ~Sphagnum$ is often abundant. Tyndall et al. (1990) describe ~Carex striata$ communities from Maryland. This alliance is also known from depression meadows in North Carolina and South Carolina, and is assumed to occur in Virginia. A Florida association is found in seasonally flooded peat depressions.
