Name: Carex pellita Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This groundwater-supported plant association occurs in small patches along stream channels and in seasonally wet depressions and swales at low to moderate elevations in the western U.S. from Washington to Montana south to Oregon, Utah, Wyoming and Colorado. It has also been reported from British Columbia, Canada. These wetlands form small to medium-sized meadows. <i>Carex pellita (= Carex lanuginosa)</i>, a distinctive wetland-indicator species, clearly dominates stands with 30-80% cover. Low species diversity, with few associates having high constancy, is characteristic. <i>Deschampsia caespitosa, Carex microptera, Carex nebrascensis, Carex simulata, Carex praegracilis, Elymus glaucus, Juncus balticus, Schoenoplectus pungens (= Scirpus pungens), Equisetum arvense</i>, and <i>Equisetum hyemale</i> are sometimes present with low cover. Scattered shrubs and small trees may also be present . On the eastern plains of Colorado, it can occur under a canopy of cottonwood trees forming ~<i>Populus deltoides / Carex pellita</i> Woodland (CEGL002649)$$.  Accession Code: VB.CC.33742.CEGL001809 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
