Description: This wetland association has been described from the mountains of Utah, Montana, and Colorado and may extend north to Alaska. The elevation range for this community in Colorado and Utah is 2745-3200 m (9000-10,500 feet). The plant association occurs on organic soils near streams, in wet meadows, and as narrow bands along shorelines of ponds and small lakes.
