Description:
This wet shrub meadow type is found in the northern prairie-forest border area of the midwestern United States. Stands may occur along stream courses or adjacent to lakes or in upland depressions. Soils are wet mineral, muck, or shallow peat (<0.5 m). Standing water is present in the spring and after heavy rains, but the water table draws down by mid-summer. Seepage areas may also occur. Shrub cover is at least 25% but does not become thick. Dominant species include Cornus sericea, Salix bebbiana, Salix discolor, Salix petiolaris, and Spiraea alba. Herbaceous species are typical of wet herbaceous meadows, and include the sedges Carex aquatilis, Carex atherodes, Carex haydenii, Carex lacustris, Carex pellita (= Carex lanuginosa), Carex rostrata, Carex stricta, or grasses Calamagrostis canadensis and Calamagrostis stricta. Forbs include Asclepias incarnata, Symphyotrichum lanceolatum (= Aster lanceolatus), Symphyotrichum lateriflorum (= Aster lateriflorus), Symphyotrichum novae-angliae (= Aster novae-angliae), Symphyotrichum puniceum (= Aster puniceus), Chelone glabra, Eupatorium maculatum, and Mentha arvensis. In northern Illinois prairie meadow species may include Asclepias purpurascens, Coreopsis tripteris, Gentianella quinquefolia, and Heliopsis helianthoides.
