Changing biophysical conditions due to amplified climate change in northern latitudes has significant implications for species’ habitat and populations and can dramatically alter interactions between harvesters and local resources. Tribal, regional, and state governments, federal agencies, and other local planning entities have begun documenting observations of changing harvest conditions and the information necessary for communities to adapt to shifting resource availability. We identify and evaluate what stakeholders are saying about wild foods in the context of climate change information needs in Alaska through a review of published grey literature (n = 87). Documents consistently expressed that climate change was impacting habitat conditions, resource distribution, and the abundance of wild foods. They solicited more information on biophysical processes (e.g., sea ice conditions) and population-level responses (e.g., shift in migration patterns). They also recommended that future projects focus on information that will improve food security, travel access, and community well-being. Documents suggested that communities have successfully sustained harvest practices, but most current adaptations are localized decisions being made by harvesters to manage the risks of current climate change. Strategies include finding new areas to hunt, substituting harvest species with other wild foods, or using new modes of travel. Documents also identified several adaptation strategies that still need to be implemented, and are dependent on actions by actors at larger scales; these strategies include legal, policy, and management actions to help reduce climate change impacts to wild food harvest. This review of the grey literature complements the climate-change literature by describing information needs of Alaskan wild food harvesters as well as providing tangible suggestions about how to improve adaptation and management strategies for harvesters grappling with changing resource conditions in the Arctic.

阿拉斯加野生食物收割机信息需求和气候适应策略

由于北纬地区气候变化加剧而导致的生物物理条件变化对物种的栖息地和种群具有重大影响，并可能显着改变收割者与当地资源之间的相互作用。部落、地区和州政府、联邦机构和其他地方规划实体已开始记录对不断变化的收获条件的观察以及社区适应不断变化的资源可用性所需的信息。我们通过审查已发表的灰色文献（n = 87），确定并评估利益相关者在阿拉斯加气候变化信息需求的背景下对野生食物的看法。文件一致表示，气候变化正在影响栖息地条件、资源分布和野生食物的丰富性。他们征求了更多关于生物物理过程（例如，海冰条件）和种群水平响应（例如，迁移模式的转变）的信息。他们还建议未来的项目将重点放在能够改善粮食安全、出行便利和社区福祉的信息上。文件表明，社区已经成功地维持了收割实践，但当前的大多数适应措施是收割者为管理当前气候变化的风险而做出的本地化决策。策略包括寻找新的狩猎区域，用其他野生食物代替收获的物种，或使用新的旅行方式。文件还确定了一些仍需要实施的适应战略，这些战略取决于更大规模的行动者的行动；这些战略包括法律、政策、和管理行动，以帮助减少气候变化对野生食物收获的影响。这篇灰色文献综述通过描述阿拉斯加野生食物收割者的信息需求，并就如何改进适应和管理策略以帮助收割者应对北极地区不断变化的资源状况提供切实建议，从而对气候变化文献进行了补充。
