Functional Traits Drive the Selection of Plant Species Used by Agropastoralists in the Brazilian Semiarid Region
Plants with similar characteristics drive their use by local populations in the semi-arid region of Brazil
Knowledge and use of Cactaceae in rural communities in the semi-arid region of Paraíba, northeastern Brazil
Background: Cactaceae species are physiologically adapted to regions with arid and semi-arid climates, in which they are available and often used by traditional communities. This study aimed to analyze how ethnobotanical knowledge is influenced by socioeconomic factors such as age and gender in a semi-arid region of Paraíba, Brazil.Methods: This study was conducted in rural communities in the semi-arid region of Paraíba, northeastern Brazil. The …
Traditional Techniques for the Management of Cactaceae in the Americas: The Relationship between Use and Conservation
Humans have used and coexisted with cacti in arid regions of North and South America for thousands of years. Species of the family Cactaceae possess physiological adaptations to arid and semi-arid climates that have allowed them to be used as a resource throughout the year by traditional peoples. The objective of this review is to present information on the uses and management of species of Cactaceae in the various regions of the Americas. This r…
Local Botanical Knowledge about Sideroxylon obtusifolium (Roem. & Schult.) T.D.Penn. in Rural Communities in the Semi-Arid Region of Brazil
Sideroxylon obtusifolium (Roem. & Schult.) T.D.Penn. is a species widely used, for several purposes, by traditional populations from the semi-arid region of Brazil. This study records the knowledge and use attributed to this species by residents from two regions: the Curimataú (Coelho and Capivara communities) and the Cariri (São Francisco and Santa Rita communities) located in the semi-arid region of Paraíba State, Northeast Brazil. We interview…
Ecological Apparency Hypothesis and Availability of Useful Plants: Testing different seu values
The present study tested the ecological apparency hypothesis in a Brazilian rural community. It used the use value to test the information gained through three types of calculations (UVchange, UVgeneral, UVpotential). A vegetation inventory was performed in two areas near Capivara, Paraíba, Brazil, and 112 informants were interviewed. For the hypothesis test, the Spearman correlation coefficient was used to correlate the phytosociological (vegeta…
