Name: Carex nebrascensis Wet Meadow Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This minor wetlands community occurs on the western Great Plains and throughout much of the western U.S. Elevation ranges from 1000-2800 m (3300-9200 feet). Stands form open meadows that occur along the margins of streambanks, flat floodplains, and lakes often forming a band along the alluvial terrace, or on marshy areas surrounding springs and below seeps on lower hillslopes, as well as small patches within spring-fed alcoves of the southwestern deserts. This association is often found on well-developed soil, but occurs on a wide variety of soil types that tend to be fine-textured alluvium, or clay to organic and are typically gleyed and mottled near the surface because of the high water table most of the growing season. The vegetation is characterized by a moderately dense to dense perennial graminoid layer dominated or codominated by <i>Carex nebrascensis</i>. Other graminoid species may be present such as <i>Carex praegracilis, Calamagrostis stricta, Deschampsia cespitosa, Eleocharis palustris, Glyceria striata, Juncus arcticus ssp. littoralis, Schoenoplectus pungens</i>, or <i>Triglochin maritima</i>. Forb cover is generally low, but can be high in moist locations. Scattered short shrubs may be present in some stands.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:30722-{BE75C616-8A11-423E-93F4-83479BD3852D} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 20
