Edible wild herbs and mushrooms of Tusheti (the eastern Greater Caucasus), Georgia
Background: Wild herbs were traditionally widely used in everyday diet of the population of alpine areas of Georgia. Ethnography has a long history of research in the country, and along with the results particularly intensified ethnobotanical and ethnomycological studies of the recent decades, it is interesting to synthesize the data scattered in the Georgian ethnographic sources, an attempt of which is the present paper. Methods: The review pape…
Traditional use of Polypores in Georgia (the Caucasus)
Background: The present work was intended to explore the quantitative ethnobotany and conservation status of flora of Koh-e-Suleman range, Razmak valley, North Waziristan, Pakistan. For the first time, significant traditional knowledge of the uses of reported flora was documented. Objective: The aim of the present study was to: (i) elucidate local populations' traditional knowledge of indigenous plants used for various purposes (ii) compile ethno…
The subalpine and alpine vegetation of the Georgian Caucasus - a first ethnobotanical and phytosociological synopsis
Background: The Republic of Georgia is part of the Caucasus biodiversity hotspot, and human agricultural plant use dates back at least 6000 years. Over the last years lots of ethnobotanical research on the area has been published. In this paper we analyze the use of food plants in the 80% of Georgia not occupied by Russian forces. We hypothesized that, (1) given the long tradition of plant use, and the isolation under Soviet rule, plant use both …

The Use of “Use Value”: Quantifying Importance in Ethnobotany
Your Poison in My Pie—the Use of Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Leaves in Sakartvelo, Republic of Georgia, Caucasus, and Gollobordo, Eastern Albania
A comparative ethnobotany of Khevsureti, Samtskhe-Javakheti, Tusheti, Svaneti, and Racha-Lechkhumi, Republic of Georgia (Sakartvelo), Caucasus
Plant species, and uses, found in our study, both for Georgia in general, as well as for its regions, showed clear relations to the wider Caucasus - Asia Minor - Balkans cultural complex. However, plant use in Georgia was much more diverse than reported in other studies from Eurasia

Reasons and Processes Leading to the Erosion of Crop Genetic Diversity in Mountainous Regions of Georgia
Agriculture has a long history in Georgia; it has led to a great variety of ancient crops. However, this diversity is under threat for many reasons. First, introduced crops have caused a loss of traditional cultivars, because the introduced crops are preferred due to their higher yield. Moreover, agricultural machines such as forage and grain combine harvesters imported to Georgia are constructed for widely distributed, imported crops and cannot …
