Name: Danthonia californica - Carex lenticularis - Deschampsia cespitosa Coastal & Lowland Marsh Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: These wet herbaceous meadows are characterized by a moderately dense to dense herbaceous layer dominated by the perennial bunchgrass <i>Deschampsia cespitosa</i> or <i>Carex lenticularis</i>. Commonly associated species include <i>Armeria maritima, Cardionema ramosissimum, Carex</i> spp., <i>Danthonia intermedia, Gamochaeta purpurea, Horkelia marinensis, Juncus arcticus ssp. littoralis, Poa pratensis</i>, and <i>Potentilla gracilis</i>. This alliance occurs from sea level to the foothills of mountain ranges in British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and California. Stands generally occur in moist maritime climates, on soils with high moisture-holding capacity or a perched water table. Soils are variable. Fine-textured soils retain soil moisture longer in areas of seasonal drought, and coarse substrates allow aeration in areas with perennial high water tables.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:39032-{179EC625-90C0-4E3D-9AA3-3C0CD7B276A2} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
