Name: Carex microglochin Saturated Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: Vegetation in this alliance occurs in marshy depressions or calcareous fens in the subalpine and alpine areas of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and western Montana. Types are locally abundant but considered rare. Sites typically range in elevations from 3000-3600 m. Stands are found in depressions with saturated soils, typically on the eastern slope. Sites do dry out in the summer. Soils are calcareous, derived from fine limestone gravel and sand. Vegetation within this alliance is classified as seasonally flooded, temperate or subpolar grasslands. Carex microglochin dominates the graminoid layer. Other graminoids can include Juncus triglumis and Juncus castaneus. Polygonum viviparum (= Bistorta vivipara), Gentiana algida, and Rhodiola integrifolia are typically found in the forb layer. Adjacent community information is not available.  Accession Code: VB.CC.20933.CAREXMICROGLOCH Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
