“See-Hand” and beyond: An ethnomycological investigation of bai fungal knowledge in Jianchuan, Northwest Yunnan, China
The Bai people in Jianchuan County, Northwest Yunnan, have a long history of utilizing wild macrofungi. This region is recognized as a global biodiversity hotspot; however, traditional knowledge associated with fungi remains underexplored. This study documents the ethnomycological knowledge of the Bai people, examining how vernacular names encode ecological and utilitarian information. A mixed methods approach was employed, combining semi-structu…
Traditional knowledge promotes the protection of large old trees: A case from China's richest biocultural diversity area
Large old trees are important ecological entities in human settlements, providing cultural values and ecological services that are threatened by current and future changes in global climate, land use and disturbance regimes. Some studies suggest incorporating social and cultural significance into the conservation of large old trees. However, research on the biological and cultural conservation mechanisms of these trees is limited. It is urgent to…
Ethnobotanical uses, phytochemistry and bioactivities of Cymbopogon plants: A review
Traditional management of ancient Pu'er teagardens in Jingmai Mountains in Yunnan of China, a designated Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems site
Background Pu'er Traditional Tea Agroecosystem is one of the projects included in the United Nations' Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) since 2012. Against the background of having rich biodiversity and a long history of tea culture, the ancient tea trees in Pu'er have experienced from wild-transition-cultivation for thousands of years, and the local people's knowledge about the management of ancient teagardens has not been…
Ethnobotanical study on edible flowers in Xishuangbanna, China
Background Edible flowers (EFs) represent valuable sources of both food and medicinal resources, holding the promise to enhance human well-being. Unfortunately, their significance is often overlooked. Ethnobotanical studies on the EFs are lacking in comparison with their botanical and phytochemical research. The practice of consuming flowers as food has a rich culture and long history in China, especially among different linguistic groups in Xish…

Indigenous knowledge of dye-yielding plants among Bai communities in Dali, Northwest Yunnan, China
BACKGROUND: Bai people in the Dali Prefecture of Northwest Yunnan, China, have a long history of using plant extracts to dye their traditional costumes and maintain this culture for posterity. However, the development of modern technology, while vastly improving the dyeing efficiency, is also replacing indigenous knowledge which threatens the indigenous practice, causing the latter disappearing gradually. This study sought to examine the indigeno…
