Name: Carex aquatilis - Dulichium arundinaceum Marsh
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This community is known from a single site (Green Pond) at Big Levels in Augusta County, Virginia. Green Pond is a 0.4-hectare (one acre) natural ridge crest depression located at 976 m (3203 feet) elevation on the summit of the Blue Ridge. It is situated where the local, ridge-forming Antietam quartzite has weathered through to the predominantly carbonate Shady Formation. The pond retains shallow water continuously in most years and has a dense substrate of reddish, poorly-decomposed, root-rich peat. The vegetation of Green Pond is a floristically depauperate herbaceous wetland dominated by <i>Carex aquatilis</i> and, to a lesser extent, by <i>Dulichium arundinaceum</i>. The only other species occurring here are <i>Vaccinium macrocarpon, Juncus canadensis, Triadenum virginicum</i>, a few seedlings of <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis</i>, and an unidentified <i>Utricularia</i> sp.
