Description: This wet meadow community occurs on gently sloping stream benches and terraces on small streams. All reported stands occur on alluvial surfaces. Elevation ranges from 1920 to 3570 m (6300-11,700 feet). Soils are mineral with fine textures ranging from sandy to silts to clayey. Some soils have an organic layer. This herbaceous meadow type is dominated by <i>Carex microptera</i>. Other sedges are typically present in lower abundances and include <i>Carex aquatilis, Carex utriculata, Carex praegracilis</i>, and <i>Carex pellita (= Carex lanuginosa)</i>. Other graminoids that can have significant cover include <i>Juncus hallii, Juncus longistylis, Deschampsia caespitosa, Festuca idahoensis</i>, and <i>Poa pratensis</i>. Forbs are few and include <i>Symphyotrichum foliaceum (= Aster foliaceus), Fragaria virginiana, Geum macrophyllum, Argentina anserina, Arnica chamissonis var. andina, Eurybia integrifolia</i>, and <i>Hymenoxys hoopesii (= Helenium hoopesii)</i>.
