Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This wet sedge meadow community is found in the southern Great Lakes region and parts of the central midwestern United States. Sites occur in stream valleys, along lake margins, and in depressions and channels in glacial outwash. Soils include wet mineral soils, muck, or shallow peat (&lt;0.5 m), with the water table below the surface for most of the growing season. The vegetation is dominated by sedges and grasses, but the shrub component can be high as 25%. Dominant plants include <i>Calamagrostis canadensis</i> and <i>Carex stricta</i>. Associated graminoids include <i>Carex aquatilis, Carex pellita (= Carex lanuginosa), Carex bebbii, Carex lacustris, Eleocharis</i> spp., <i>Juncus</i> spp., <i>Phalaris arundinacea</i> (common in more degraded examples), and <i>Typha latifolia</i>. Typical forbs include <i>Anemone canadensis, Asclepias incarnata, Symphyotrichum lanceolatum var. lanceolatum (= Aster simplex), Equisetum arvense, Eupatorium maculatum, Eupatorium perfoliatum, Iris versicolor, Lycopus americanus</i>, and <i>Solidago canadensis</i>.
