American Beech (Fagus grandifolia)Observer

~130 year old tree. Dead from what I would assume to be root compaction from growing on the edge of a mowed field witch lead to root rot and its eventual demise when it feel over.

Emory's Sedge (Carex emoryi)Observer
smpbiologist-cpolingDescription
Strongly rhizomatic growth. Not forming tussaks. Leaves and bracts longer than fruits. Retains dead leaves from last year. Fruiting shoots very rare among the hundreds of plants present. Achenes not dented. I don't really feel confident about this ID. Probably just being hopeful.
