Can the traditional use of native plant species in rural communities in the Brazilian semi-arid region be affected by global warming
Extreme climate change events are capable of modifying the physiognomy of landscapes, impacting millions of people around the world. Consequently, the traditional knowledge of people residing in these regions about local natural resources may also be affected. To identify how the traditional use of native plant species can be influenced by a change in the availability of these species in a rural community in a semi-arid region, in a scenario of c…

What drives the knowledge and local uses of timber resources in human-altered landscapes in the semiarid region of northeast Brazil
The demand for timber resources is one of the primary drivers of landscape modification and biodiversity loss, but little information is available about the domestic use of these resources. A study was conducted in rural communities (northeast Brazil) to identify the factors that influenced the use and knowledge of these resources and how these factors were modified over time and influenced by environmental and cultural changes. Despite the local…
Ecological Apparency Hypothesis and Plant Utility in the Semiarid Region of Brazil
The ecological apparency hypothesis seeks to understand the dynamics of use that a particular species has through its availability in vegetation areas. According to this hypothesis, apparent plants are the most collected and used by humans. This hypothesis was tested in the rural community of Santa Rita, municipality of Congo, in Cariri microregion (Paraíba state, Northeast Brazil). We calculated the use value (UV) for each species. For the phyto…
