Name: Equisetum hyemale Wet Meadow
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This wetland association has only been described from the Green and Yampa river drainages in northwestern Colorado and probably in adjacent eastern Utah, and it is expected to occur adjacent to perennial or intermittent streams or springs throughout the Colorado Plateau. This association occurs in small patches around seeps and ponds, on streambanks, and within floodplains. Soils are typically saturated during the growing season. The vegetation is characterized by moderate to dense cover of <i>Equisetum hyemale var. affine</i> and typically associated with forb species <i>Apocynum cannabinum</i> and <i>Helenium autumnale var. montanum</i>. Other forbs occur with low cover, but graminoids are largely absent. Seedlings of <i>Populus deltoides ssp. wislizeni</i> are often present, as are the shrubs <i>Chrysothamnus linifolius</i> and <i>Salix exigua</i>.
