Sedge Meadow

Sedge meadow is an open wetland community  typically dominated by tussock sedge (Carex stricta) and bluejoint reed (Calamagrostis canadensis). Many sedge meadows are fed by alkaline groundwater and occur in complexes with marsh, fen, and wet prairie. In the absence of fire, shrubs and trees are readily able to encroach.
