It eats a large variety of green plants, including different kinds of grasses, sedges, thistles and fireweed.
This area of rolling hills, small lakes, and north-flowing, braided rivers is dominated by tundra vegetation consisting of low shrubs, sedges, and mosses.
The sedges and other plants that grow here left behind by the last glacier were the food for mastodons and giant sloths that once roamed the earth.
Between the two high points of the island is a central valley where the vegetation is dominated by the sedge Cyperus ustulatus, while the surrounding slopes are dominated by a mix of Parietaria debilis and Disphyma australe.
They have been found oligophagous or even monophagous on the following plant families: Asteraceae, Cannabaceae, Convolvulaceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae, Fabaceae, Urticaceae.
The páramo proper lies above the subpáramo, and is dominated by grasses, rushes, herbs, and low shrubs of the families Gramineae, Asteraceae, Cyperaceae, Rosaceae and Ericaceae.
Some well-known sedges include the water chestnut (Eleocharis dulcis) and the papyrus sedge (Cyperus papyrus), from which the Ancient Egyptian writing material was made.

The Cyperaceae are a family of monocotyledonous graminoid flowering plants known as sedges, which superficially resemble grasses or rushes.
Amazonian marsh rats feed primarily on grass stems, although they also eat some seeds, and small quantities of sedges, other plants, and even small invertebrates.
Reeds, sedges, peat moss wetlands, black alder thickets, rivers which bend freely back and forth, groups of lakes and marshes, and other wet ecosystems comprise a varied environment.
The lake has significant floristic value as it supports an extensive area of tall sedgeland.
Sedges and other low plants grow in the wetlands providing food and cover for migrating birds.
It inhabits areas of tall (60–180 cm), dense vegetation dominated by sedges (such as Eleocharis) and grasses.
The stream mouth is clear of canopy vegetation but densely filled with sedges in a marshy setting.
Nicolás Leoz Almirón (born September 10, 1928 in Pirizal, Chaco Paraguayo, Paraguay) was President of CONMEBOL (Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol, South American Football Confederation) between 1986 and 2013.
It feeds on grasses, sedges and other green vegetation in summer, and twigs of willow, aspen and birches in winter.
The shores of the Sea of Azov contain numerous limans, estuaries and marshes and are dominated by reeds, sedges, Typha and Sparganium.
sef (sedges) and thveit (clearing) and may be taken to mean "Sedges clearing".
The larva is brown with dark and white lines and feeds on various grasses including Alopecurus, Dactylis, Deschampsia, Leymus and Phragmites and has also been recorded on the sedge, Carex and the rush, Luzula.
Along the river, willow and sedge, with pine woodland behind, support a rich bird life.
On Mount Kilimanjaro, which is mostly arid, Subularia monticola grows in oases made by rain or melted snow collecting in depressions, where it forms continuous carpets of vegetation alongside Eriocaulon volkensii, Cyperaceae and Bulliarda elatinoides.
The habitat for all subspecies is closed heath, wet dense heath, open forest, open heath, swampy draiages and tussock grassland with bracken and sedge growth.
Areas of grassland remain along with other vegetation communities of heathy scrub, regenerating scrub, sheoak woodland, sedgeland and coastal mosaic.
The expression "out in the tulies", referring to the 3–10 ft-tall sedges lining the lakeshore, is still common in the dialect of old Californian families and means "beyond far away".
Typical tallgrass prairie vegetation such as grasses, forbs, shrubs, and sedges, increase with an increase in the amount of fire, whereas tree density and basal area decreases.
The entire state park displays a microcosm of plant succession, from bog, through wetland, to sedge-grass meadow.

It has been reported growing in sand-heath, open mallee, and in a low mixed shrubland of Allocasuarina humilis (Dwarf Sheoak), Isopogon trilobus (Three-lobed Conebush) and Melaleuca pulchella (Clawflower) over sedges.
Cortinarius cinnamomeus colonizes the root systems of the sedges Carex flacca and Carex pilulifera, forming ectomycorrhizal-like structures lacking a Hartig net—a network of hyphae that penetrate between the epidermal and cortical cells of the root.
The reed grasses of the subfamily Arundinoideae were probably far less widespread in Africa 35 million years ago (Ma) than they are today, but it is fairly likely that other Poales reeds—Cyperaceae (maybe including the ancestors of the Papyrus Sedge Cyperus papyrus), Juncaceae and Typhaceae—grew in aquatic habitats back then already.
Eriophorum callitrix, commonly known as Arctic cotton, Arctic cottongrass, suputi, or pualunnguat in Inuktitut, is a perennial Arctic plant in the Cyperaceae family.
They are similar in size and shape, being oval, about 1.6 km long by 1.3 km wide, with large central areas of open water when full and with shorelines vegetated with concentric fringes of the introduced bulrush Typha orientalis, sedges, paperbarks and other plants tolerant of seasonal waterlogging.
Latham's Snipe is an omnivorous species that feeds on seeds and other plant material (mainly from species in families such as Cyperaceae, Poaceae, Juncaceae, Polygonaceae, Ranunculaceae and Fabaceae), and on invertebrates including insects (mainly flies and beetles), earthworms, spiders and occasionally molluscs, isopods and centipedes.
The main habitat type for this species is clear, sandy lakes with shoreline stands of maidencane (Panicum hemitomon) and sometimes sedges and St. John's worts.
