Project

Floristic diversity and status of rare species in the freshwater estuary of the Saint-Laurent river
By replicating an ecological inventory done almost 30 years ago, I will be able to observe the changes in plant communities and in the abundance of rare native, endemic and invasive exotic species in the estuary. This will allow me to identify the biotic and abiotic factors that are the most likely to cause floristic changes or to help maintain plant biodiversity.
