Name: Carex lyngbyei Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: From Kunze (1994): This community type occurs along the lower Columbia River, Washington, as far upriver as Fisher Island near Longview. It occurs on floodplains subject to daily freshwater tidal inundation and is typically laced with sinuous tidal creeks. The substrate is mud. This is a heterogeneous community type dominated by <i>Carex lyngbyei</i>. It forms narrow bands or extensive marsh flats. In some places examples of this community type have been degraded by grazing and invasion of <i>Phalaris arundinacea</i>, but in most cases it appears to be below the line of <i>Phalaris arundinacea</i> invasion. Additional species include <i>Bidens cernua, Boltonia asteroides, Caltha asarifolia, Deschampsia caespitosa, Eleocharis palustris, Equisetum fluviatile, Juncus oxymeris, Sagittaria latifolia, Sium suave</i>, and <i>Typha angustifolia</i>.
