Name: Carex spp. - Triglochin maritima - Eleocharis quinqueflora Alkaline Fen Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: Vegetation of this herbaceous fen alliance is short to medium-tall. Common species include <i>Eleocharis quinqueflora, Lobelia kalmii, Parnassia palustris</i>, and <i>Rhynchospora capillacea</i>. There are also areas of taller vegetation, such as <i>Carex aquatilis, Carex prairea</i>, and <i>Schoenoplectus pungens</i>. This alliance is found in localized areas where mineral-rich groundwater emerges at the ground's surface. These areas remain saturated throughout the growing season, permitting the development of organic peat. These communities may have small pools which have precipitates of calcium carbonate and other minerals. This alliance is found in the northwestern Great Plains.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:38780-{6B61E4AF-C47C-4B3D-A7B9-D2AB872F6C53} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
