Name: Carex pellita - Calamagrostis stricta Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This sedge-bluejoint wet meadow is found in the northern tallgrass prairie region and in the northeastern Great Plains. Stands occur on level ground in shallow depressions and other lowlands on poorly drained sandy, loamy, or silty clay soils. Standing water may be present for a few to several weeks during most years. Soil pH is circumneutral to somewhat alkaline and organic content can be moderately high. The vegetation of this community provides approximately 100% cover and the dominant vegetation is graminoids, typically 0.5-1.0 m tall. Forbs can be common, but shrubs are rarely found in this type. The most abundant species are Calamagrostis stricta, Carex pellita (= Carex lanuginosa), Carex sartwellii, Anemone canadensis, Apocynum cannabinum, Symphyotrichum lanceolatum (= Aster lanceolatus), Eleocharis compressa, Juncus balticus, Phalaris arundinacea, Polygonum amphibium, and Schoenoplectus americanus (= Scirpus americanus). Carex buxbaumii may be common, except in North Dakota.
