Phenology and yield of native fruits cloudberry/bakeapple ( Rubus chamaemorus L.) and lingonberry/partridgeberry ( Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) grown in Southern Labrador, Canada
Plant habitat, growth, fruit yield and occurrence of pollinators in cloudberry and lingonberry fields/bogs were monitored and analyzed at three locations in southern Labrador: Lanse’au Clair (51°41’ N, 57°08’ W), Red Bay (51°43’ N, 56°26’ W), and Cartwright (53°42’ N, 57°0’ W) over the two growing s...
