Cloudberries are referred to as Salmonberries in Southwest Alaska. This species Rubus chamaemorus is also known by many other regional names, atsaq, bakeapple, aqpik, and knotberry.

"In some northern regions, cloudberries are becoming harder to find—and locals are noticing. In others, they seem to be growing in unexpected places. Why is this happening?"

Cloudberries only grow in particular tundra habitats—what happens to these plants when permafrost thaws or when flooding brings saltwater into freshwater bogs?

The University of Alaska Fairbanks has published an extensive summary of publications on Cloudberries, available free to all learners.
