MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : 
Sheathed sedge and other vegetation in wet sedge meadows underlain by
permafrost in the northwestern Northwest Territories are highly
susceptible to disturbance by roads and seismic lines in summer.  They
are least affected by winter operations.  Sheathed sedge increased from
0 percent to 2.1 percent cover (equal to control plots) over 2 years on
the disturbed seismic lines [10].
