Name: Carex stricta Seasonally Flooded Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This alliance, found primarily in the Great Lakes and northeastern regions of the United States, includes seasonally flooded communities dominated by the sedge Carex stricta, often occurring with other tussock-forming sedges. Carex stricta often occurs with Calamagrostis canadensis. A variety of forb species are found in these stands, including tall forbs such as Asclepias incarnata, Angelica atropurpurea, Eupatorium maculatum, Eupatorium perfoliatum, Thalictrum dasycarpum, and low forbs such as Lycopus americanus, Galium obtusum, and Thelypteris palustris. Stands occur along slow streams and near inlets and outlets of lakes or ponds and may be inundated with water during floods. These wetlands generally contain little or no Sphagnum and can be the result of beaver-caused flooding of once more sphagnous wetlands. The ground may be flooded in the spring or after heavy rains, but it typically lies just above the permanent water table. Soils are either a raw sedge peat or a muck comprised of decomposed peat.  Accession Code: VB.CC.24253.CAREXSTRICTASEA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
