Occurrences are typically located on rocky snowpatches between large boulders with some exposed bare soil. Soils are rocky and thin with a pH average of 5.5. Vegetation types within this alliance are classified as short alpine or subalpine sod grasslands. Carex perglobosa dominates the graminoid layer. Other constants are Minuartia biflora and Silene acaulis in the forb layer. The moss layer is insignificant, with constants Cladonia pyxidata and Polytrichum piliferum.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19757.CAREXPERGLOBOSA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
