Name: Carex atherodes Interior West Wet Meadow
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This sedge wet meadow occurs in a disjunct population in Idaho, but may have more occurrences in the Intermountain West. Stands occur on lowland sites that have standing water for several weeks each year. These sites are typically in depressions or basins but can be along streams and rivers. The water may be fresh or moderately saline. Soils can be mineral but mucks often form through the buildup of organic material. Vegetation cover is usually high but can vary in wet or dry years. Dominant species are herbaceous and typically between 0.5 and 1 m tall. Forb diversity is moderate to high. <i>Carex atherodes</i> may form essentially monotypic stands or just be the dominant species. Common associated species include <i>Symphyotrichum lanceolatum</i> and <i>Eleocharis palustris</i>.
