Name: Carex trichocarpa Graminoid Rivershore Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance occurs in small patches on floodplain edges, deposition bars, and islands where tree canopy is lacking, on medium- to large-sized rivers in the mid-Atlantic region and on third- or fourth-order streams above 800 m elevation in the Central Appalachians. This vegetation is routinely flooded during most high-water events and commonly occurs on low flats associated with the active floodplain, either directly adjacent to the channel or in association with backwater depressions and sloughs. Ice-scour during high winter flows contributes to the open physiognomy of this community. <i>Carex trichocarpa</i> is the dominant species.
