Name: Carex pellita - Calamagrostis stricta Wet Meadow
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This sedge - reedgrass wet meadow is found in the northern Great Plains. Stands occur on level ground in shallow depressions and other lowlands on poorly drained sandy, loamy, or silty clay soils. Standing water may be present for a few to several weeks during most years. Soil pH is circumneutral to somewhat alkaline and organic content can be moderately high. The vegetation of this community provides approximately 100% cover and the dominant vegetation is graminoids, typically 0.5-1.0 m tall. Forbs can be common, but shrubs are rarely found in this type. The most abundant species are <i>Calamagrostis stricta, Carex pellita, Carex sartwellii, Anemone canadensis, Apocynum cannabinum, Symphyotrichum lanceolatum, Eleocharis compressa, Juncus arcticus ssp. littoralis, Phalaris arundinacea, Polygonum amphibium</i>, and <i>Schoenoplectus americanus</i>. <i>Carex buxbaumii</i> may be common, except in North Dakota.
