Name: Carex saxatilis Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This wetland association has been described from the mountains of Utah, Montana, and Colorado and may extend north to Alaska. The elevation range for this community in Colorado and Utah is 2700-3200 m (9000-10,500 feet). The plant association occurs on organic soils near streams, in wet meadows, and as narrow bands along shorelines of ponds and small lakes. This typically dense graminoid community is dominated by Carex saxatilis. Carex aquatilis is often present and may be codominant. Other species often present with minor cover are Pedicularis groenlandica, Caltha leptosepala, Deschampsia caespitosa, and Carex utriculata.  Accession Code: VB.CC.17810.CAREXSAXATILISH Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
