Name: Carex striata var. brevis Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This vegetation occupies Coastal Plain depression meadows around the perimeter of Coastal Plain ponds and is dominated by Carex striata var. brevis (= Carex walteriana var. brevis). Examples include vegetation on the outer margins of Coastal Plain pond shores in New York, Maryland and Delaware or in localized swales in the New Jersey pine barrens. The substrate is typically composed of sand and gravel but some community types may occur on organic muck. Carex striata usually occurs in dense stands with few other associates, which may include seedlings of Cephalanthus occidentalis and Acer rubrum, as well as Cladium mariscoides, Rhexia virginica, Bidens frondosa, Rhynchospora macrostachya, Rhynchospora chalarocephala, Fimbristylis autumnalis, Juncus canadensis, Dulichium arundinaceum, Hypericum mutilum, and Panicum hemitomon. Sphagnum is often abundant.
