Name: Carex obnupta - Juncus patens Wet Meadow Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This herbaceous association is currently only known from Point Reyes National Seashore in California, and the following description is based on occurrences there. Additional information will be added as it becomes available. This vegetation grows in seasonally saturated soils on gentle slopes of all aspects. Stands prefer basins, bottoms and plains, which collect water during the rainy season and usually hold water or have saturated soils through most of the growing season. Soils are moderately coarse to fine sandy loams. Stands are generally small, under 2 ha. Moisture relations are close to permanently saturated. Stands of this vegetation are normally dominated by <i>Carex obnupta</i>, which can contribute up to 90% cover in the canopy. <i>Juncus patens</i> is present in all stands and may also contribute significant cover. Other species include <i>Juncus effusus var. brunneus, Juncus phaeocephalus, Juncus arcticus ssp. littoralis, Carex densa</i>, and/or <i>Carex harfordii</i>. Common associates may include <i>Scrophularia californica, Rubus spectabilis, Rubus ursinus, Erechtites minimus</i> (exotic), <i>Holcus lanatus</i> (exotic), <i>Lotus corniculatus</i> (exotic), and/or <i>Iris douglasiana</i>. The canopy is between 1-2 m in height. <i>Baccharis pilularis</i> may cover up to 10% of the stands. Stands with &gt;10% <i>Baccharis</i> are classified as ~<i>Baccharis pilularis / Carex obnupta - Juncus patens</i> Shrubland (CEGL003185)$$.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32261-{F95A8A82-952E-4DDA-A429-AD373FDAE4C9} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
