Name: Carex nebrascensis - Catabrosa aquatica Wet Meadow
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association has only been documented at two sites on the western slope of the southern Rocky Mountains in Colorado. It is found associated with cold freshwater springs originating on hillsides and at the heads of small draws producing this characteristic assemblage of species. The springs can be found at all elevations within the Piceance Basin, from 1370-2685 m (4500-8800 feet). <i>Carex nebrascensis</i> and <i>Catabrosa aquatica</i> are the dominant, constant species of this community, although <i>Carex microptera, Juncus arcticus ssp. littoralis</i>, and <i>Poa pratensis</i> may also be important in some stands. Associated species include <i>Hippuris vulgaris, Hordeum jubatum, Ranunculus cymbalaria</i>, and <i>Zannichellia palustris</i>.
