Name: Carex lacustris Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This broad-leaved wet sedge meadow type occurs in the upper central midwestern region of the United States. Stands occur on floodplains, shallow bays of lakes and streams, and upland depressions. Soils are mineral or well-decomposed peat. Flooding is variable, but typically is seasonal. The vegetation is dominated by tall sedges. Shrubs may have up to 25% cover. Carex lacustris forms almost mono-dominant stands. Occasionally other emergents, such as Typha latifolia or Sagittaria spp., may codominate. In Wisconsin this type is common in the northwest, where it typically intermingles with tall shrubs, especially Salix spp. (e.g., Salix petiolaris). Common herbaceous associates include Doellingeria umbellata (= Aster umbellatus), Calamagrostis canadensis, Carex stricta, Eupatorium maculatum, and Muhlenbergia glomerata.  Accession Code: VB.CC.21918.CAREXLACUSTRISH Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
