Name: Deschampsia caespitosa - Carex nebrascensis Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This meadow vegetation grows on moist "bottomland" sites on the Medicine Bow National Forest in southeastern Wyoming, mesic meadows and seeps within meadows in foothills and montane sites within the Great Basin and Sierra Nevada, and in riparian bottoms and wet meadows in central and eastern Oregon. Sites are typically flat with finer-textured soils. Mottles and/or gleying may be present. Codominant species in the vegetation are Deschampsia caespitosa and Carex nebrascensis. Other common species with lower cover include Carex athrostachya, Carex simulata, Juncus balticus, Muhlenbergia filiculmis, and species of moss. In disturbed stands, grazing tolerant exotics Poa pratensis or Poa palustris may be common.
