Name: Arctophila fulva - Carex aquatilis Arctic Marsh Group
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This group occurs as small patches throughout arctic and subarctic North America, typically on the margins of ponds, lakes and beaded streams. It is also found on large to small floodplains where various wetlands form in oxbows, wet depressions, low-lying areas, and abandoned channels, including freshwater marshes. Soils are muck or mineral, and water is often nutrient-rich. In floodplains, permafrost is absent. Occurrences are typically dominated by grasses and sedges, but may have high forb cover in some instances. Dominant species include <i>Arctophila fulva, Carex aquatilis</i>, or <i>Eriophorum angustifolium</i>. Additional dominants occur in the subarctic, including <i>Comarum palustre, Hippuris vulgaris, Lysimachia thyrsiflora, Carex utriculata, Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani, Typha latifolia, Menyanthes trifoliata</i>, and <i>Equisetum fluviatile</i>.
