Rubus Idaeus – Raspberry

Ecology and Phytosociology
Rubus Idaeus, or the raspberry bush, is an indicator plant that points to a degraded soil due to high acid levels, which block the fertilizing properties of humus. It grows in silicone-rich Sessile oak stands and acid-loving beech-oak stands. It can be found in forests undergoing soil degradation and acidification. The raspberry bush is well suited to luvisol and clayey sand, where harvesting leads to the growth of blackberries.
