Name: Juncus effusus var. brunneus Pacific Coast Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: From Christy (2004): Habitat is meadows, fens, and old pastures. This association is generally thought of as a disturbance type resulting from grazing, but some occurrences suggest that it is native in some places because they are unlikely to have ever been heavily grazed. It is widespread at a variety of elevations but is especially abundant at low elevations in western Oregon. The plots here are from the Coast Range and Cascade Range. Trees are nearly absent but may include <i>Alnus rubra, Fraxinus latifolia, Quercus garryana</i>, or conifers peripheral to the wetland. Eight shrub species are recorded, with <i>Salix sitchensis</i> being most abundant, but their cover is negligible. The herb layer includes about 60 different species, with <i>Juncus effusus</i> being most abundant with an average cover of 52% and ranging from 20 to 85%. <i>Juncus ensifolius (= Juncus xiphioides var. triandrus)</i> is a consistent associate but has very low cover, while <i>Hypericum anagalloides</i> is much more abundant but present with slightly lower constancy. Other species occurring in significant patches include <i>Scirpus microcarpus, Equisetum arvense, Oenanthe sarmentosa</i>, and <i>Athyrium filix-femina</i>, and five species are exotics. Old pastures at low elevations may also have large amounts of <i>Ranunculus repens</i>, but this species was not recorded in these plots.  Accession Code: VB.CC.33749.CEGL003317 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
