Name: Carex nebrascensis - Catabrosa aquatica Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association has only been documented at two sites on the western slope of the southern Rocky Mountains in Colorado. It is found associated with cold freshwater springs originating on hillsides and at the heads of small draws producing this characteristic assemblage of species. The springs can be found at all elevations within the Piceance Basin, 1370-2600 m (4500-8800 feet). Carex nebrascensis and Catabrosa aquatica are the dominant, constant species of this community, although Carex microptera, Juncus balticus, and Poa pratensis may also be important in some stands. Associated species include Hippuris vulgaris, Hordeum jubatum, Ranunculus cymbalaria, and Zannichellia palustris.
