Name: Carex spp. - Calamagrostis canadensis Wet Meadow Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This wet meadow alliance is found in the northeastern United States and Great Lakes region and adjacent Canada. It is dominated by medium to medium-tall graminoids, usually with moderate to dense cover. Dominant species are <i>Calamagrostis canadensis</i> and <i>Carex</i> spp., usually <i>Carex lacustris, Carex lasiocarpa, Carex stricta, Carex vesicaria</i>, and <i>Carex utriculata</i>, but sometimes others. Sites are flooded or saturated for at least part of the growing season but surface water may be gone later in the growing season. Soils tend to be fine-textured and often have muck or sedge peat accumulated from decaying organic matter.
