Name: Equisetum arvense Wet Meadow
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: Habitat is seepy alluvial fans, slopes, wet meadows, and fens. This is mostly a low- to mid-elevation association, often occurring in sites with some groundwater movement. It is often small-patch size in water tracks, and the plots suggest considerable inclusions of upland species that may be an artifact of plot size or configuration in a sinuous wetland configuration. Discounting the trees and shrubs that are mostly peripheral to the stand, the primary species in the herb layer is <i>Equisetum arvense</i>, with average cover of 88% and cover ranging from 80-95%. Other wetland associates with lesser cover include <i>Hypericum anagalloides</i> and <i>Mimulus guttatus</i>. Of the other 25 species, nearly half are upland taxa and should not be part of this association. This is a widespread and well-known association in other regions and obviously undersampled locally.
