A warming climate means where and how people harvest berries is changing.
Cloudberries are the focus of a new booklet out this month that includes information on how climate change is impacting Alaska’s berries statewide. A team of scientists at the University of Alaska Fairbanks just released its first “berry booklet.” It’s part of a larger project that digs into the future of Alaska’s wild berries as the climate warms.
“To see your berry bucket get full, to know that this is part of our beautiful land. It’s food that is delicious, it’s something that we do as families, as communities, as good friends,” Chase said.. And over the years, communities across Alaska have developed climate change adaptation and mitigation plans.
Among dozens of plans she read, Chase said that she only found two references to scientific research specific to berries. Mulder said that the team set out to learn everything they could about how climate change could affect the plants people care about. The first berry booklet, which is focused on cloudberries, was released earlier this month. Also known as akpiqs in Iñupiaq and atsalugpiaq in Yugtun, cloudberries are soft, round bright orange berries that grow on Alaska’s tundra. Many people also call them “salmonberries.”“It has male and female flowers, and so if the weather during pollination time is off, then it’s gonna really affect how many fruits, how many berries, are produced in that year,” Spellman said.
