Name: Deschampsia cespitosa - Carex nebrascensis Wet Meadow
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This meadow vegetation grows on moist "bottomland" sites on the Medicine Bow National Forest in southeastern Wyoming, mesic meadows and seeps within meadows in foothills and montane sites within the Great Basin and Sierra Nevada, and in riparian bottoms and wet meadows in central and eastern Oregon. Sites are typically flat with finer-textured soils. Mottles and/or gleying may be present. Codominant species in the vegetation are <i>Deschampsia cespitosa</i> and <i>Carex nebrascensis</i>. Other common species with lower cover include <i>Carex athrostachya, Carex simulata, Juncus arcticus ssp. littoralis, Muhlenbergia filiculmis</i>, and species of moss. In disturbed stands, grazing-tolerant exotic <i>Poa pratensis</i> or <i>Poa palustris</i> may be common.
