Name: Carex scopulorum Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: From Christy (2004): Habitat is depressions and seepy alluvial fans in subalpine heath. Stands of this association occur in transitional areas between the slightly wetter ~<i>Carex nigricans</i> Herbaceous Vegetation (CEGL001816)$$ and slightly drier associations of <i>Carex spectabilis</i> and upland <i>Phyllodoce</i> heath, and intergrade with both. Stands on alluvial fans occur below springs and seeps and may be laced with rivulets and or irrigated by sheetflow. Trees are absent. Shrubs are sparse, <i>Salix commutata</i> being the most abundant in 25% of the plots, but with a very low cover. <i>Carex scopulorum</i> is the primary herbaceous species with an average cover of 49% and ranging from 10-90%. Other species with significant patches include <i>Deschampsia caespitosa, Eleocharis quinqueflora, Muhlenbergia filiformis, Eleocharis palustris</i>, and <i>Juncus balticus</i>. The other 40 species occur at low constancy and cover and are mostly wetland taxa indicative of perennial saturation.  Accession Code: VB.CC.34003.CEGL001822 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
