Name: Abies lasiocarpa / Carex aquatilis Forest
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This plant association is a shaded forest with few to no shrubs and a thick to open carpet of <i>Carex aquatilis</i> along the streambanks. In Colorado it occurs below 3050 m (10,000 feet) on saturated soils along narrow streams and adjacent to willow carrs and sedge fens. In Oregon it occurs on streambanks and terraces between 1465 and 1650 m (4800-5400 feet) of the Blue Mountains. The undergrowth of this association is dominated by <i>Carex aquatilis</i> with <i>Calamagrostis canadensis</i> as an occasional a codominant.
