Name: Carex aquatilis Seasonally Flooded Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This alliance is found from the western Great Lakes to the western United States. This description is based on the one community that occurs in the Midwest. Stands typically occur in depressions or around ponds or lakes, although they sometimes can be found adjacent to streams or rivers. The sites on which it develops are flooded for some time during the growing season in most years. Carex aquatilis-dominated stands were found in the northern Great Plains on mostly mineral soils in fresh or slightly saline shallow marshes. The vegetation is dominated by graminoids approximately 0.4-0.7 m tall. Carex spp. predominate, especially Carex aquatilis, and often include Carex rostrata, Carex lacustris, and Carex stricta. Eleocharis palustris, Polygonum amphibium, Scirpus spp., and Typha spp. may all be found in stands of this alliance. Scolochloa festucacea may be found in drier stands. Woody species are rare. If present, they are shrubs such as Salix spp.  Accession Code: VB.CC.20483.CAREXAQUATILISS Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
