Name: Carex striata var. brevis Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Tyndall, R. W., K. A. McCarthy, ...
Description: This vegetation occupies Coastal Plain depression meadows around the perimeter of Coastal Plain ponds and is dominated by <i>Carex striata var. brevis (= Carex walteriana var. brevis)</i>. Examples include vegetation on the outer margins of Coastal Plain pond shores in New York, Maryland and Delaware or in localized swales in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. The nominal taxon ranges south to South Carolina, and the association could be found in the Coastal Plain of Virginia and the Carolinas. The substrate is typically composed of sand and gravel, but some community types may occur on organic muck. <i>Carex striata</i> usually occurs in dense stands with few other associates, which may include seedlings of <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis</i> and <i>Acer rubrum</i>, as well as <i>Cladium mariscoides, Rhexia virginica, Bidens frondosa, Rhynchospora macrostachya, Rhynchospora chalarocephala, Fimbristylis autumnalis, Juncus canadensis, Dulichium arundinaceum, Hypericum mutilum</i>, and <i>Panicum hemitomon</i>. <i>Sphagnum</i> is often abundant.
