Nutritional composition of bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) from forest fields in Norway – Effects of geographic origin, climate, fertilization and soil properties
Effects of different environmental factors (origin, climate, fertilization and soil properties) on berry nutritional quality were studied in eight forest fields of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) in Northern-, Mid- and Southern Norway. No clear trend between locations could be found, however untarget...
