The Pacific Northwest bog ecosystem is highly sensitive to drought and coastal development. The survival of plants in this bog require that they tolerate a high water table, low levels of soil nutrients and a low soil pH. The bog ecosystem in the Pacific Rim National Park is a habitat for large amounts of sphagnum moss, Shore pines (Pinus contorta), sundews, labrador tea (flowering here) and bog cranberry, bog blueberry and cloudberry.
