Name: Carex trichocarpa Rivershore Wet Meadow Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association occurs in small patches on floodplain edges, deposition bars, and islands where tree canopy is lacking, on medium- to large-sized rivers in the mid-Atlantic region and on third- or fourth-order streams above 800 m elevation in the Central Appalachians. This community is routinely flooded during most high-water events and commonly occurs on low flats associated with the active floodplain, either directly adjacent to the channel or in association with backwater depressions and sloughs. Ice-scour during high winter flows contributes to the open physiognomy of this community. <i>Carex trichocarpa</i> is the dominant species in this association. Shrubs may be present but at less than 25% cover, including <i>Rosa multiflora, Cornus amomum</i>, and <i>Rubus allegheniensis</i>. This type is susceptible to invasion by <i>Phalaris arundinacea</i>. Other common herbaceous species include <i>Solidago gigantea, Boehmeria cylindrica, Dichanthelium clandestinum, Urtica dioica, Polygonum</i> spp., <i>Scirpus cyperinus, Euthamia graminifolia var. graminifolia, Verbena hastata var. hastata, Doellingeria umbellata var. umbellata, Asclepias syriaca, Arisaema triphyllum, Onoclea sensibilis</i>, and <i>Lilium superbum</i>. Vines may be present at low cover, including <i>Polygonum convolvulus</i> and <i>Clematis virginiana</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:35090-{71813C93-A596-4BC0-B577-CA30CDED3DE1} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 9
