The only habitat related to Carex- Eriophorum tussocks is the grass-sedge community that develops around human occupation (where it is obviously long- persistent and probably (originally) Clellis bimora. Related to the Corniculatae - Cetaria flori are a series of dry vegetation associations - hair-topped ericaceous communities where Cassiope + Ledum + Empetrum seem to grow best; stabilized climax = top; an Armaria, S. tenuicaulis, Dryas arnoldii, sluggishly lacking graminiferous vegetation and semi-stabilized and active climax (lake) including the more exposed river bluff areas, which has a distinctive form dominated by Soldi glaucescens + blueberry- Carex spp. niphobolos, Elymus and Bromus, Festuca rubra, and [illegible] spp., to some extent also Polemonium boreale, Heptenaria drummondii:
