Crowberry (Empetrum nigrum L.) is a relatively under-utilized wild berry that occurs widely throughout the northern hemisphere such as in Canada, Eurasia, and northern Europe.

Variation in the anthocyanin concentration of wild populations of crowberries (Empetrum nigrum L subsp. hermaphroditum). J Agric Food Chem. 2010 Dec 8;58(23):12286-91. doi: 10.1021/jf1037695.

Any substance normally consumed as a constituent of food: which provides energy; or which is needed for growth and development and maintenance of healthy life; or a deficit of which will cause characteristic biochemical or physiological changes to occur. (CAC/GL 09-1987, FAO, 1987)

Disorders caused by nutritional imbalance, either overnutrition or undernutrition. (MeSH, 2024. Nutrition Disorders http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D009748)

The amounts of various substances in food needed by an organism to sustain healthy life. (MeSH. 2025. Nutritional Requirements. https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D009751)

Thermotaxis is a behavior in which an organism directs its locomotion up or down a gradient of temperature. (Wikipedia, 2024. Thermotaxis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermotaxis)

Chernozems accommodate soils with a thick blackish mineral surface layer that is rich in organic matter. The Russian soil scientist V.V. Dokuchaev coined the name Chernozem in 1883 to denote the typical soils of the tall-grass steppes in continental Russia. Many Chernozems correspond to Kalktschernoseme (Germany), Chernosols (France), Eluviated black soils (Canada) and Chernossolos (Brazil). In the United States of America they were formerly called Calcareous black soils and belong now to several Suborders (especially Udolls) of the Mollisols. (IUSS Working Group WRB. 2015. World Reference Base for Soil Resources 2014, update 2015 International soil classification system for naming soils and creating legends for soil maps. World Soil Resources Reports No. 106. FAO, Rome.)

An indication of the contribution of a food to the nutrient content of the diet. This value depends on the quantity of a food which is digested and absorbed and the amounts of the essential nutrients (protein, fat, carbohydrate, minerals, vitamins) which it contains. This value can be affected by soil and growing conditions, handling and storage, and processing. (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/cgi/mesh/2010/MB_cgi)

Many various types of foods are pickled [pickling: preserving or expanding the lifespan of food by either anaerobic fermentation in brine or immersion in vinegar] to preserve them and add flavor. The resulting food is called a pickle, or, to prevent ambiguity, prefaced with pickled. Some of these foods also qualify as fermented foods. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickling)

The record derives from WCSP (data supplied on 2012-03-23) which reports it as an accepted name (record 300526) with original publication details: Enum. Pl. 4: 308 1843. (http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/kew-300526)

Apical meristem: a region of rapid cell division (meristem) at the top of a shoot or tip of a root that eventually becomes shoots, leaves, and buds. (Undersander, Dan. (2019). Forage Plant Structure, Function, Nutrition, and Growth. 10.1016/B978-0-12-812919-7.00001-9.)

In biology, a nymph is the immature form of some invertebrates, particularly insects, which undergoes gradual metamorphosis (hemimetabolism) before reaching its adult stage. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nymph_(biology))
