Document Summary

Based on the graph the rubus idaeus is best adapted to the field, as is had the highest incidence numbers there. It was also located in the ecotone, forest, and bog. The preferred habitat of the rubus idaeus was the field, which is the driest station at mer bleue. If there was a partial water drainage of the mer bleue marsh this habitat would not be affected very much due to it being a sand dune. The ottawa river used to be much larger than it is today and an uplift of terrain caused south channel to dry out then forming a small, sandy mounds, known as the sand dunes today. The sand dunes do not require much water for their plants, as the plants growing in dunes are suited to the environment and use rain water as a source of their survival.
