	Sedge
		Sedges are distinguished from grasses by their three-sided, solid stems and by leaves with three ranks instead of two (artwork by Claire Tremblay).
		Sedge is a grasslike plant common throughout temperate and cold regions.
		Sedges are readily distinguished from GRASSES by their 3-sided, solid stems and by leaves with 3 ranks instead of 2.

	Easy Lawns—Low-Maintenance Native Grasses for Gardeners
		Five sedges that have shown excellent promise as substitutes for traditional lawngrasses are catlin sedge (Carex texensis), Texas Hill Country sedge (C. perdentata), Baltimore sedge (C. senta), Pennsylvania sedge (C. pensylvanica), and California meadow sedge (C. pansa).
		Catlin sedge is adapted to a wide variety of climates, from the hot, muggy Southeast to the hot, dry Southwest.
		Sedge lawns are usually planted from plugs, as the seeds of many sedges are short lived and have low germination rates.

		Sedges usually have triangular stems with leaves arranged in groups of three and are similar to grasses in many attributes.
		Sedge species may be found in a wide range of conditions, ranging from very wet to dry and in many soil types.
		Sedges are of little economic value to man but can be very competitive with the desired crop for water, nutrients and space.

	botanical.com - A Modern Herbal \| Sedge, Sweet - Herb Profile and Information
		The Sweet Sedge is a vigorous, reed-like, aquatic plant, flourishing in ditches, by the margins of lakes and streams and in marshy places generally, associated with reeds, bullrushes and bur-reed.
		As the Sweet Sedge did not grow near London, but had to be fetched at considerable expense from Norfolk and Suffolk, one of the charges of extravagance brought against Cardinal Wolsey was his habit of strewing his floors with fresh rushes.
		---Description---The Sweet Sedge is a perennial herb, in habit somewhat resemblingthe Iris, with a long, indefinite, branched, cylindrical rhizome immersed in the mud, usually smaller than that of the Iris, about the thickness of a finger and emitting numerous roots.

	Sedge Warbler, Acrocephalus schoenobaenus
		Sedge warblers advertise their presence by a chattering and varied song, but are often invisible due to the dense herbage they haunt.
		Sedge warblers devote most time to singing — either from the depths of cover or from such vantage points as alders and birches in full view.
		The entire breeding population of sedge warblers winters in Africa south of the Sahara.

	PCA Alien Plant Working Group - Asiatic Sand Sedge (Carex kobomugi)
		The mature sedge is a coarse and stout member of the genus that forms extensive colonies through cord-like rhizomes that extend many feet under the sand and produce new shoots.
		Although the circumstances of its introduction are unclear, sand sedge was apparently introduced intentionally for use as a sand binder in erosion-prone areas and may have spread accidentally as a result of its use as a packing material in ship cargo.
		Because Asiatic sand sedge is capable of forming extensive colonies, early detection and treatment of infestations is critical for effective management.

	Controlling Sedges in Turfgrasses
		Sedges are usually more of a problem in wet soils and can most often be found around areas that stay wet, such as around sprinkler heads or areas that do not drain well.
		Cylindric sedge and Texas sedge are less common but can be found, and in the southeastern part of the state, green kyllinga can be found.
		Green kyllinga is perennial sedge and is common in turf in the southeastern coastal area and in states south of North Carolina.

	Encyclopedia of the Arctic
		Sedge meadows are among the most distinctive and characteristic of tundra plant communities, appearing in imperfectly drained lowlands as dense green swards or lawns dominated by a variety of grass-like sedges and cottongrasses.
		Sedge meadows are wetlands related structurally, functionally, and botanically to the open peatlands or mires of the northern boreal forest.
		Sedge meadows serve as important forage habitat for a number of terrestrial herbivores, most conspicuously caribou and reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) and muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus), but also a number of smaller animals such as microtine rodents (lemmings and voles) and Arctic hare.

	Sedge Wren?, Concord, Massachusetts, August 2005 Photo Gallery by Glen Tepke at pbase.com
		Pyle does note that the crown and rump of a sedge have diagnostic white streaking on the crown and rump in all plumages (though juv has less white streaking on upperparts, especially on the crown).
		The fact that one was singing nearby the day before, however, and that sedges can be late and sporadic in arriving at territories (the golden guide notes august arrivals), gives some room for pause--unless, of course, we're talking about a family, and not just one bird.
		Overall, there's nothing inconsistent with sedge wren, and plenty inconsistent with marsh--no clean supercilium, a streaked back [the marsh either has the bold fl/white patch in the middle (ad) or a few fl streaks (juv), but not long brown/buff streaks], barring throughout the wing, and a very soft buff color on the breast sides.

	Ross' Sedge: Minnesota DNR
		Locations of Ross's sedge in northeastern MN This species was found during a floristic investigation in northern Cook County, MN as part of a graduate study (Gerdes 2001) receiving support from Michigan Technological University, the Superior National Forest, and the Minnesota County Biological Survey.
		In Lake County the sedge was found growing on a steep, diabase slope in shallow soil and talus.
		Sedges occurring in sunny, dry-parched habitats typically flower and fruit early in the season, while species in wetlands and cool habitats are often in their prime later in the season.

		Saltmarsh sedge, or Carex salina, is found along the coast of Scandinavia, northern Russia and the eastern seaboard of North America.
		The saltmarsh sedge was discovered in 2004 at Morvich, at the head of Loch Duich, and was sent to Edge Hill University in Lancashire for analysis.
		Sedges are one of the largest plant families in the world and are most common in wet habitats.

		III.A. Sedge meadows are dominated by the sedges (Cyperaceae) growing on saturated soils.
		The sedges of the genus Carex are mostly long-lived and competitive grass-like plants that have three-ranked leaves and triangular, solid stems.
		This is opposed to the two-ranked leaves and cylindrical, hollow stems of grasses, or the apparently "leafless," cylindrical, solid stems of rushes (Juncus).

		Sedges belong to the large family Cyperaceae with over 4,000 species scattered throughout all temperate regions of the world.
		Sedges are also mistaken for grasses as both have inconspicuous, even drab, flowers.
		The Slough Sedge is differentiated from other sedges in three ways: the seed sac (or perigynium) is shiny; the lower leaf sheaths tend to shred, and the flowering stem (or culm) sits above the lower leaves and stems (or culms) which are erect and stiff.

		Sometimes it is called 'Gray Sedge' and 'Narrow-Leaved Sedge,' but it is not gray and its leaf blades are not narrow for a sedge.
		The staminate flowers of Davis' Sedge are located toward the bottom of the uppermost pistillate spikelet; this sedge lacks a separate staminate spikelet.
		Davis' Sedge also has finely hairy sheaths (at least on immature plants), while the sheaths of Wood Gray Sedge are always hairless.

		This sedge meadow community is restricted to high elevations within the alpine zone, and tends to grow in flat or poorly drained areas.
		Environmental Change Issues — While most plant and animal species have the ability to shift their distributions north or south in response to climate change, alpine habitat in the Northeast is distributed as isolated islands surrounded by inhospitable spruce-fir and northern hardwood forests.
		Because Bigelow’s sedge is a high elevation species within the alpine zone, suitable habitat may be reduced or eliminated if alpine areas shrink in response to climate change.
