Name: Spartina pectinata - Calamagrostis stricta - Carex spp. Great Plains Wet Prairie, Wet Meadow & Seepage Fen Group
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This group includes herbaceous wetlands and fens in the eastern and central Great Plains. Examples occur in basins or along slow-moving streams or rivers. Sites are flooded or saturated for part of the growing season but often dry out in late summer. These wet meadows and wet prairies typically have moderate to dense cover of herbaceous vegetation 1-2 m tall. <i>Calamagrostis stricta, Carex</i> spp., and <i>Spartina pectinata</i> are common dominants, though several other species are common locally or in some parts of the range. Soils are fine-textured and may be mineral or mucky in most sites. In fens, soils are muck or peat.
