- Abstract:
- ... The European bilberry, Vaccinium myrtillus L. (Ericaceae), is an important food resource for many mammals, insects and birds in forests, including the threatened capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus). For capercaillie, a sufficient amount of bilberry fruits is crucial to store enough body fat for the winter period. Studies have shown that V. myrtillus reproduction is influenced by canopy openness, but s ...

- Abstract:
- ... Forage quality is rarely the focus of studies on grouse performance. The plant stress hypothesis predicts that the protein digestibility of a focal food plant for grouse in Norway, the bilberry Vaccinium myrtillus should be highest after a peak in seed production. Protein digestibility may also be affected positively by cosmic ray (muon) fluxes, which fluctuate with the 9.3-year lunar nodal phase ...

- Abstract:

The bilberry-vs.-cowberry fine-scale dynamics has been modelled by a discrete Markov chain of transitions among the four observable statuses of permanent sample plots: bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) alone, cowberry (V. vitis-idaea) alone, both species, and species-free (Logofet and Maslov, 2019). Six successive examinations of spp. presence/absence on 20 × 20 cm quadrats located along permanent tr ...

- Abstract:
- ... Oxidative stress and abnormal osteocyte apoptosis are often related to dysregulation of bone turnover and chronic bone loss, and so fruit and vegetables with high antioxidant potential may play an important role in the prevention and/or management of osteoporosis. Osteocytes are the main regulators of bone remodelling. For the first time, we demonstrate here that blueberry juice (BJ), obtained fro ...

Studies of North American and Japanese bear populations suggest they respond to years of mast crop failure by increasing movement rates and roaming farther, with an increase in human–wildlife conflicts. In southcentral Sweden, brown bears (Ursus arctos) primarily feed o ...

The temperature-sum model was developed by fitting to historical data on berry ripening, and by finding a parameter combination that minimizes the model prediction error. The model was then used to predict the timing of berry ripening by using temperature d ...

Due to possible negative consequences on soil chemistry and on (soil) fauna and flora, this measure was discussed highly controversially right from the beginning and is disputed until today. In investigations of liming effects on th ...

In this study, we estimated C uptake of field-layer vegetation, dominated by Vaccinium myrtillus, V ...

In Sweden, brown bears (Ursus arctos) depend on a nearly continuous intake of berries, especially bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus) during late summer and early autumn to fatten up prior to hibernation. This overlaps with the bear hunting season that starts on 21 August. Bilberry occurrence varies across sp ...

- Abstract:
- ... The objective of this work was to explore the storage properties of a structured oil-in-water emulsion containing both water- and fat-soluble bioactive compounds from bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus L.). Bilberry seed oil (BSO) was dispersed in a continuous aqueous phase of anthocyanins (AC) and whey protein isolate. The microstructure was evaluated using light microscopy and the effect of anthocy ...

- Abstract:
- ... Tree species diversity can positively affect numerous forest functions. This is why Scots pine monocultures, widely promoted in Central Europe since the 18th Century, are converted into mixed stands, also with broadleaved species of alien origin. Here we studied the impacts of Northern red oak (Quercus rubra) introduction and forest continuity (ancient vs. recent forests) on bilberry (Vaccinium my ...

- Abstract:
- ... The understory vegetation of the Eurasian boreal forest is dominated by several ericaceous species (e.g. bilberry Vaccinium myrtillus). These species invest large amounts of energy in their sexual reproduction by producing seed-containing berries, which are apparent adaptations for endozoochory. Their seedlings are, however, almost never found in the wild, and they reproduce virtually exclusively ...

- Abstract:
- ... Turkey has rich gene pool of several economically important Vaccinium species which are biologically closely related with the cultivated blueberry species. Although fruit of those Vaccinium species have been collected from the nature by local inhabitants for millennium, they are not commercially cultivated. A study was carried out leading to the collection and characterization of morphological tra ...

We studied the effect of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) fruits extracts (BEs) on the pathogenesis caused by lipid accumulation in fatty liver and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). 5 μg/ml of BEs was enough to suppress lipid accumulation in the fatty liver model of the mouse hepatic AML12 cells. BEs increased c ...

One of the commonly used herbal preparation in traditional medicine is made of Rubus fruticosus leaves, Vaccinium myrtillus leaves, Potentilla erecta roots, Geum urbanum aerial parts and Phaseolus vulgaris pods, but little is known about potential toxicity and antitoxicity of these medicinal plants and their accumulated biological effect when used as a herbal mixture. In the present study, possibl ...

We assessed whitebark pine seedling densities throughout the US Rocky Mountains and identified stand, site, and climatic variables related to seedling presence based on data from 1,217 USDA Forest Service Forest Inventory and ...

- Abstract:
- ... Numerous species of wild berries are abundant in the Nordic forests, mountains and peat lands. They ripen throughout the early summer until late autumn. Both lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea) and bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), that are among the most picked wild berries, are characteristic field layer species in boreal forests. Other species that have potential of better exploitation are cloudb ...

Therefore, it is important to study experiments with a long history. The aim of our study is to investigate the impact of thinning carried out in young pine/birch boreal forests on stand formation, natural regeneration, ground cover and properties of the soi ...

- Abstract:
- ... The tree species used in production forests can have direct implications for the understory vegetation, due to species-specific differences in the environmental conditions provided, and silviculture applied. In southern Sweden, there is an ongoing shift from even-aged managed stands of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) to even-aged Norway spruce (Picea abies). Here we evaluate the potential ecological ...

- Abstract:
- ... Almost all natural terrestrial ecosystems are nutrient limited in terms of growth, and we expect treeline vegetation to be no exception. However, direct constraints of low temperature on tissue formation may superimpose effects of low nutrient availability. We examined growth responses of two tree (Larix decidua and Pinus uncinata) and two dwarf shrub species (Vaccinium myrtillus and Vaccinium gau ...

- Abstract:
- ... The ericaceous shrub bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) is a keystone species of the Eurasian boreal forest. The most optimal light condition for this plant is partial shading. Shade from the forest canopy depends on the stand density, a forest attribute that can be manipulated by forest managers. Most previous studies of the relationship between bilberry abundance and forest density have not explo ...
