Document Summary

Based on the results in figure 1, the assigned plant, rudbeckia hirta, is assumed to be adapted to drier, warmer habitats based on the region in which the vegetation accumulated most, station 1, the field. In the case of partial water drainage of the marsh, rudbeckia hirta"s, also known as black-eyed susan, habitat would not particularly be disturbed. The lack of disturbance is due to the already dry conditions of the plant"s habitat. The abundance of the plant in the field would remain relatively unchanged unless other factor such as weather was part of the reason for change. The weather changing in an already dry state could make it harder for the plant to survive because a lack of precipitation would dry out the soil too much. Through out the rest of mer bleue, the plants abundance is very minimal, only being seen in one other place, the forest, due to its drier habitat.
