Name: Carex scopulorum var. bracteosa - Pedicularis groenlandica Wet Meadow Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This herbaceous association is currently only known from Yosemite National Park in California, and the following description is based on occurrences there. Additional information will be added as it becomes available. This association is found in seasonally flooded basin floors, including tarn margins and low-gradient streamsides, at about 3200 m (10,500 feet) of elevation. Slopes are flat to very gentle, and soils are poorly drained with lots of organic content. The seasonally flooded perennial grassland is dominated by <i>Carex scopulorum var. bracteosa</i>. The graminoids <i>Eleocharis quinqueflora</i> and <i>Carex subnigricans</i> may also be present. Forb cover is fairly high, totaling about 40%. <i>Pedicularis groenlandica</i> is diagnostic, achieving approximately 15% cover. Other common forb associates may include <i>Packera streptanthifolia, Allium validum, Gentiana newberryi, Ivesia lycopodioides, Oreostemma alpigenum var. alpigenum</i>, and traces of <i>Botrychium simplex, Castilleja lemmonii, Kalmia polifolia, Mimulus primuloides, Potentilla flabellifolia</i> and/or <i>Potentilla gracilis</i>. The shrub layer is sparse with only about 2.5% cover of <i>Salix planifolia</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36703-{D9F34013-3AFD-45E7-8122-437685718891} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 1
