Use, management and local ecological knowledge of Sabal mauritiiformis in the Colombian Caribbean
The leaves of the palm Sabal mauritiiformis constitute the natural material most used for thatching in the Colombian Caribbean region.The leaves and other parts of the plant are also used in other economic and cultural activities on a smaller scale.Through 49 semistructured interviews and seven days of participant observation, we identified the most relevant biocultural features of its utilization.We documented the current uses, management and lo…

Uso y Manejo de las Especies Sembradas en las Chagras de dos Comunidades Murui-Muinane de la Amazonia Colombia
To identify the effects of transculturation on traditional swidden-fallow agriculture in the Amazon (basic unit: the chagra), a comparative study was undertaken in two communities of the ethnicity Murui-Muinane in the Colombian Amazon: San Rafael (far from any urban center) and Km. 11 (near the city of Leticia), where 14 and 11 chagras were sampled, respectively. Ethnobotanical walks and collections were carried out to document diversity and abun…
Terras Pretas de Índio of the Caquetá-Japurá River (Colombian Amazonia)
Amazonian dark earths, or terra preta, constitute archaeological evidence of ancient human settlements. They are distributed throughout the Amazon basin, especially concentrated along its major rivers. In the region of La Pedrera, on the Caquetá (Japurá) River in Colombian Amazonia, archaeological studies have demonstrated the presence of these fertile soils extending over areas of 3 to 5 hectares with an anthropic horizon that varies from 70 cm …
