Name: Carex aquatilis - Carex utriculata - Deschampsia cespitosa Wet Meadow Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This alliance includes wet meadows of the mountains, high montane grading into subalpine altitudes, dominated by <i>Carex aquatilis, Carex microptera, Carex rostrata, Carex utriculata, Deschampsia cespitosa</i>, and/or <i>Phleum alpinum</i>. Additional species present may include <i>Carex pellita, Carex praegracilis, Juncus hallii</i>, and <i>Trisetum wolfii</i>, among many others. The plant associations within this alliance occur in the Rocky Mountains, the Cascade Range, and the Basin and Range of the Intermountain West regions from montane and subalpine elevations that can grade into alpine zones. They form small and large stands of single-species meadows or mosaics that grade from one to the other with changes in depth to groundwater levels, degree of surface flooding depth and length of inundation.
