Name: Carex amplifolia - Carex interior - Carex sheldonii Wet Meadow Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: Stands are dominated by <i>Carex amplifolia, Carex interior</i>, and/or <i>Carex sheldonii</i>. Other species present may include <i>Epilobium</i> spp., <i>Equisetum arvense, Glyceria striata, Juncus ensifolius, Mimulus guttatus</i>, and <i>Scirpus microcarpus</i>. <i>Alnus incana</i> is sometimes present with low cover. Moss may be an important ground cover. This alliance occurs along the Coast Ranges of Oregon, the west and east sides of the Cascades, in the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon, southeastern Idaho, Washington and north into British Columbia. Stands occur in V- and trough-shaped valleys at low to moderate elevations of 744 to 1937 m (2440-6350 feet), on floodplains with a constant source of water from adjacent springs and on subirrigated, or spring-fed, saturated toeslopes and terraces (up to 10% or more slope). Water is at or near the surface for most of the growing season, and it often ponds on, or just below, the soil surface. Soils are variable, sometimes having coarse fragments, and may be organic or mineral.
