About Carex brizoides L.

Carex brizoides, commonly known as quaking sedge or quaking-grass sedge, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Carex. This species is native to central and southern Europe. Even in regions where it is an indigenous native species, it grows invasively in disturbed woodland habitats. In these areas, it forms a dense thick layer across the forest floor, which reduces overall plant species diversity in the habitat.
