Name: Cardamine cordifolia - Mertensia ciliata - Senecio triangularis Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This southern Rocky Mountain association occurs in alpine and subalpine wetlands from 2700-3800 m (9000-12,300 feet) elevation. The generally small stands of this plant association are found in and near running water of small streams, seeps and springs. This association typically occurs along moderately steep to very steep first-order streams. In many cases this habitat probably experiences a long period of snow cover. Substrates are moderately deep (40 cm) sandy clay loam and sand-textured soils but, in general, are quite thin and skeletal. Associated taxa may vary greatly with this plant association, but the dominance of <i>Cardamine cordifolia, Mertensia ciliata</i>, and/or <i>Senecio triangularis</i> is clear. All of these species may be present or only one of the three.  Accession Code: VB.CC.31965.CEGL002662 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
