Abstract
Southern Wisconsin tussock meadows are greatly diminished in area relative to pre-settlement times (Zedler and Potter 2008; Figure 1), and restoration is warranted. The geographically-widespread sedge, Carex stricta, is considered a “superplant” for restoring southern Wisconsin’s wet meadows because it is readily grown from both ramets (vegetative propagules) and seeds (Leaflet 22; see arboretum.wisc.edu/leaflets). Young plants can be tailored to different restoration sites by manipulating water and nitrogen (Gallagher 2009). Also, the species is easy to outplant in restoration sites, and canopies rapidly expand to create dense cover.
