Name: Spartina pectinata - Carex spp. - Calamagrostis canadensis Lakeplain Wet Meadow Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This wet lakeland prairie grassland community is found in the southern Great Lakes region of the midwestern United States. Stands occur on level, sandy glacial outwash, sandy glacial lakeplains, and deposits of dune sand in silty/clayey glacial lakeplains. There is often a clay layer below the surface that results in temporary flooding in the winter and spring and drought in the summer and fall. The soil is neutral to somewhat alkaline. Average vegetation height is 1-2 m with little bare ground exposed. The dominant species are graminoids, although forbs and small trees and shrubs are common. <i>Calamagrostis canadensis, Carex aquatilis, Carex pellita</i>, and <i>Spartina pectinata</i> are typical dominants. <i>Andropogon gerardii, Symphyotrichum ericoides, Juncus arcticus ssp. littoralis, Panicum virgatum, Oligoneuron ohioense</i>, and <i>Sorghastrum nutans</i> are all common components of this community. The shrubs <i>Cornus sericea</i> and <i>Dasiphora fruticosa ssp. floribunda</i>, and small <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica</i> and <i>Populus deltoides</i> trees may also be found.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33874-{C2FF6257-F7F1-41C9-98C5-D005C7978B29} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
