Name: Abies lasiocarpa / Carex aquatilis Forest
Reference: Carsey et al 2003b
Description: The Abies lasiocarpa-Picea engelmannii/Carex aquatilis (subalpine fir-Engelmann spruce/water sedge) plant association is a shaded forest with few to no shrubs and a thick to open carpet of Carex aquatilis (water sedge) along the stream banks. It occurs below 10,000 ft (3,000 m) on saturated soils along narrow streams and adjacent to willow carrs and sedge fens. The undergrowth of this association is dominated by Carex aquatilis (aquatic sedge) with Calamagrostis canadensis (bluejoint reedgrass) as an occasional a co-dominant.
