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 grow...
