Name: Carex pellita - Carex spp. - Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani Fen Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This community occurs near the bases of canyon and valley slopes and on floodplain terraces in the central-western tallgrass prairie region of the United States. Stands have soils that are classified as hydric or show evidence of low oxygen availability during the growing season. The soil is saturated to the surface or, more rarely, may be temporarily flooded. The soils are peat or muck, often mixed with sand. They are deep and continually saturated with moderately to possibly strongly minerotrophic groundwater (pH 6-8.4). Vegetation consists mainly of hydrophytic graminoids and forbs between 0.5 and 1 m tall. Shrubs are occasionally present. Carex pellita (= Carex lanuginosa), Juncus spp., and Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani (= Scirpus tabernaemontani) dominate this community. Other herbaceous species include Carex emoryi, Carex hystericina, Carex interior, Dulichium arundinaceum, Eupatorium perfoliatum, Onoclea sensibilis, and Thelypteris palustris. In Missouri, species include Asclepias incarnata, Carex hystericina, Carex lurida, Chelone glabra, Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani, and Scirpus atrovirens.
