Name: Carex spp. - (Carex pellita, Carex vulpinoidea) Wet Meadow Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This sedge wet meadow type is found in the central midwestern United States. Stands occur on nearly level floodplains, often in bands surrounding channels, or in basins. Soils are poorly drained silty and clay loams formed in alluvium. Stands are flooded for much of the growing season, but may dry out in late summer. The vegetation cover is quite dense and may be patchy. The structure is dominated by graminoids 0.5-1.5 m tall. Typical species include <i>Carex cristatella, Carex molesta, Carex pellita, Carex stipata, Carex tribuloides</i>, and <i>Carex vulpinoidea</i> (a dominant in southeast Nebraska meadows). Other frequent emergent graminoids include <i>Eleocharis</i> spp., <i>Juncus interior, Juncus torreyi</i> and <i>Scirpus atrovirens</i>. <i>Leersia oryzoides</i> may be common where the stand borders a marsh. Forbs are common and may be conspicuous. Among the more common are <i>Apocynum cannabinum, Symphyotrichum lanceolatum, Lycopus americanus, Lythrum alatum</i>, and <i>Verbena hastata</i>. <i>Phalaris arundinacea</i> may invade this community to the point of excluding many of the native species.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:34035-{7235F261-5BB7-426C-98BA-E5B58041C9C3} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
