“…The implications of such changing fisheries systems for marine ecosystems more broadly and over the long term have not been widely explored, compounded by high levels of uncertainty about future fish stocks in a changing climate. Understanding on lake and river-based fisheries is sparse, with community observations in some inland regions reporting declines in the amount of fish available for human consumption linked to changing river hydrology (lower water levels, changing spawning behavior) (Ksenofontov et al, 2017(Ksenofontov et al, , 2019.…”

The Arctic is undergoing rapid climate change and is projected to experience the most warming this century of any world region. We review the societal aspects of these current and projected changes. Indigenous knowledge and local knowledge holders living in communities across the Arctic have detected unprecedented increases in temperature, altered precipitation regimes, and changing weather patterns, documenting impacts on terrestrial and marine environments. These local observations situate climate change as one of multiple interacting stressors. Arctic societies have exhibited resilience to climate change, but vulnerabilities are emerging at the nexus of changing environmental conditions and socioeconomic pressures. Infrastructure is highly susceptible to permafrost thaw, coastal erosion, and sea level rise, compounded by the age of infrastructure, maintenance challenges, and cost of adapting. Livelihoods and cultural activities linked to subsistence harvesting have been affected by changes to wildlife, with coping mechanisms undermined by long‐term processes of land dispossession and landscape fragmentation. Reduced sea ice coverage and changing ice dynamics are creating opportunities for enhanced shipping, oil and gas production, and deep‐water fisheries. Legal, infrastructural, economic, and climatic challenges are expected to constrain such developments, with concerns over the distribution of potential benefits. Adaptation is already taking place in some sectors and regions, with efforts directly targeting climate impacts and also addressing underlying determinants of vulnerability. Barriers and limits to adapting are evident. Research that develops projections of future climate impacts is advancing, but studies examining the implications of such changes for communities or economies remain in their infancy.

“…Event dates that cue people to make an internet search for berries (e.g., festivals featuring specific berries and announcement of wild berry harvesting periods from local government in Russia) are considered a regionally specific condition. Collections of field survey information from people's behavior, such as local customs and knowledge of where and when berries are available (e.g., Everett, 2007;Ksenofontov et al, 2018), can be sources of validation.…”

“…Although the extended growing season may improve yields (Holmberg et al, 2019), the sensitivity of these plants to climate and environmental changes (Boulanger-Lapointe et al, 2017;Anderson et al, 2018;Herman-Mercer et al, 2020) may lead to changes in the areas where they are found. The influence of climate change on berry abundance has been recognized by local residents in northeastern Siberia (Ksenofontov et al, 2018) and Alaska (Hupp et al, 2015). Therefore, mapping and monitoring berry plants, and especially their fruiting phenology, are essential to understand and predict the human-nature interaction in this region.…”

The phenology of berry-producing plants, particularly their harvest season, is of human interest and also reflects the ecosystem’s response to the changing environment. We investigated the seasonal dynamics of human interest in berries growing in boreal, subarctic and Arctic ecosystems, mainly in Russia, based on internet search data via Google Trends. There is a typical and culture-specific pattern of seasonal variations in search volume concerning berries across Russia, Finland, and Canada. Generally, the seasonal peak of search corresponds to the common berry harvest season across these countries. We discussed the potential and limitation for detecting ecological factors from the internet search data, in which physical phenomena and socio-cultural aspects are fundamentally superimposed, and its applicability to phenological studies.

“…De même, un hiver doux et pluvieux empêche l'avion de se poser à Ruhnu par détrempage du champ de la piste. Les pêcheurs et chasseurs doivent s'adapter à l'arrivée d'espèces invasives (Ksenofontov et al 2018), ou à la disparition d'espèces endémiques, tout comme à la modification des couloirs de migrations de certaines populations. Cela concerne tout particulièrement trois groupes d'espèces : les poissons migrateurs amphihalins, les oiseaux migrateurs, et les mammifères marins, cibles spécifiques des communautés.…”

Cet article a pour but d'examiner les relations entre l'homme et la nature dans les contextes côtiers et insulaires, à partir d'enquêtes ethnographiques de terrain menées au cours des quatre dernières années sur les îles de Kihnu, Manilaid et Ruhnu (partie estonienne du Golfe de Riga). Il cherche à déchiffrer le socioécosystème particulier qui s'est installé sur ces trois îles, dont les communautés vivent au quotidien avec la mer. Il abordera à la fois les usages vivriers du milieu marin, leur traduction dans l'organisation des communautés (insertion dans le paysage, création de cosmogonies marines spécifiques), mais aussi le symbolisme et les représentations liées à la mer (patrimoine immatériel).
