Name: Isoetes nuttallii Wet Meadow
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: Habitat is beds of intermittent streams and seasonally flooded pools in clay prairie, riparian woodland, or on shallow-soiled basalt scabland. This association forms linear bands of vegetation in ephemeral streams and pools. Trees and shrubs were absent from the plots that were sampled in open prairie. Of the ten species in the herb layer, <i>Isoetes nuttallii </i>is the principal species with average cover of 57% and ranging from 40-85%. <i>Lotus pinnatus </i>and an unidentified grass had 60% constancy and cover of 50 and 25%, respectively. Most of the remaining herbs occur only in trace amounts. A number of these species, including <i>Isoetes nuttallii</i>, dry up and disappear by midsummer. Other stands have been observed in mixed <i>Fraxinus latifolia - Quercus garryana </i>riparian forest.
