Carex Kamtschatica

Alpine sedge, scientifically known as Carex kamtschatica, is a hardy perennial plant native to the mountainous regions of the Northern Hemisphere. It thrives in cold, harsh environments such as alpine tundras and rocky slopes, where few other plants can survive. This species is characterized by its dense, grass-like foliage and ability to form compact clumps that stabilize soil in fragile ecosystems. Its resilience to extreme weather conditions makes it an important component of high-altitude flora. Despite its modest appearance, the Alpine sedge plays a vital role in supporting local wildlife and maintaining ecological balance in its habitat.
