HABITAT TYPES AND PLANT COMMUNITIES : 
Yellow sedge is found in upland plains habitats usually dominated by
grasses.  Consequently, it is of secondary importance in those habitats
[32,38].

It is dominant in meadows of the Great Lakes region and common in forest
understories [1,8].

In New England, yellow sedge is often dominant in hardwood forest
understories [26,27].
