Name: Carex limosa Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: Carex limosa is widespread, occurring at mid to high elevations in boreal regions of the Northern Hemisphere. This association is currently reported from Wyoming and Montana west into Idaho, Utah and California. Stands occur in some of the wettest sites in fens that have formed in glacial kettles, on pond margins, along low-gradient lake inlets or outlets, and in association with springs in broad valleys. Frequently it occurs as a floating mat. Carex limosa has 50% or greater cover in this association. Several species that are adapted to nutrient-poor conditions, including Drosera rotundifolia, Eriophorum scheuchzeri, Eriophorum chamissonis, Carex limosa, Menyanthes trifoliata, and Trichophorum caespitosum (= Scirpus cespitosus), are sometimes present. In addition, Carex aquatilis, Carex rostrata, and Comarum palustre (= Potentilla palustris) may be present. A dense layer of moss that often includes Sphagnum spp. occurs in some stands.  Accession Code: VB.CC.26140.CAREXLIMOSAHERB Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
