Name: Calamagrostis stricta - Carex sartwellii - Carex praegracilis Saline Wet Meadow Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This saline wet meadow is found in the northern tallgrass region of the United States and adjacent Canada. Vegetation cover is moderately dense to dense. Graminoids of medium and short stature are the dominant lifeform, although forbs are common. Shrubs may invade this community in the absence of fire, especially on less saline sites. The most abundant species are <i>Calamagrostis stricta, Carex praegracilis, Carex sartwellii, Juncus arcticus ssp. littoralis, Plantago eriopoda, Bolboschoenus maritimus</i>, and <i>Symphyotrichum lanceolatum</i>. Sites are on level ground in depressions where the water table is at or near the surface for part of the year. The soil and water are moderately saline.
