Description: This plant association is a shaded forest of <i>Abies lasiocarpa</i> with few to no shrubs and a thick to open carpet of <i>Carex aquatilis</i> found along streambanks. In Colorado it occurs below 3050 m (10,000 feet) elevation on saturated soils along narrow streams and adjacent to willow carrs and sedge fens. In Oregon it occurs on streambanks and terraces between 1465 and 1650 m (4800-5400 feet) of the Blue Mountains.
