Name: Deschampsia caespitosa - Carex microptera Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association occurs throughout the mountains of the north-central and western Wyoming, on mesic stream terraces and in mesic meadows. Sites supporting this association may be found over a broad range of elevation, from about 6400-9600 feet, on subirrigated, well-drained soils developed in alluvium from granite or sedimentary rocks. The vegetation is an herbaceous meadow, usually dense, without shrubs or with only scattered shrubs. Graminoids usually dominate the vegetation and forbs are secondary, although in some stands, forbs contribute almost as much cover as do the graminoids. Deschampsia caespitosa dominates or codominates the vegetation, and Carex microptera is present, often as a codominant. Common forbs are Symphyotrichum foliaceum (= Aster foliaceus), Potentilla gracilis, Polygonum bistortoides, and Caltha leptosepala. Carex aquatilis and Carex rostrata may be present, but they contribute relatively little cover.  Accession Code: VB.CC.20740.DESCHAMPSIACAES Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
