TL;DR: O dados evidenciam o uso atual de muitas especies, sendo necessarios estudos that avaliem o impacto sobre as mesmas, principalmente sobre M. urundeuva, que esta ameacada de extincao.
Abstract: A etnobotânica aborda a forma como diferentes grupos humanos interagem com os recursos vegetais. No presente estudo essa relacao foi analisada na comunidade rural Sao Francisco, municipio de Cabaceiras (Paraiba/Nordeste/Brasil), buscando analisar o conhecimento e uso que os moradores atribuem aos recursos vegetais. Para identificar a disponibilidade das especies na vegetacao, foi realizado um estudo fitossociologico nas proximidades da comunidade. Os dados etnobotânicos foram obtidos por meio de entrevistas semi-estruturadas com os chefes de familia, os quais assinaram o termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido exigido pelo Comite de Etica em Pesquisa, totalizando123 informantes (53 homens e 70 mulheres). As citacoes de uso foram organizadas em 11 categorias. Calculou-se o valor de uso das especies e categorias por meio de tres calculos (VU geral ,VU atual e VU potencial ). Nas parcelas foram registradas 16 especies, 14 generos e 10 familias, destacando-se Aspidosperma pyrifolium Mart., Croton blanchetianus Baill e Poincianella pyramidalis Tul. Nas entrevistas registraram-se 40 plantas uteis, identificadas 38 especies, 34 generos e 16 familias. Myracrodruon urundeuva Allemao, Aspidosperma pyrifolium Mart., Sideroxylon obtusifolium (Roem & Schult.) T. D. Penn., foram as especies com maiores valores de uso VU geral , VU atual e VU potencial . A correlacao de Pearson e o teste de Wilcoxon evidenciaram fortes correlacoes entre todos os valores de uso (p < 0,0001), e entre os generos (p < 0,05). Os dados evidenciam o uso atual de muitas especies, sendo necessarios estudos que avaliem o impacto sobre as mesmas, principalmente sobre M. urundeuva , que esta ameacada de extincao.

TL;DR: In this paper, the inventory in situ method was applied to identify the species most used as firewood and charcoal, their dynamics of renewal, and species availability in the forest fragment studied.
Abstract: Timber resources are constantly used by traditional communities to meet their everyday needs. Assuming the importance and use of these resources for energy purposes, we applied the inventory in situ method, over 12 months, aiming to identify the species most used as firewood and charcoal, their dynamics of renewal, and species availability in the forest fragment studied. The study was conducted in the Rural Community of Sao Francisco, Municipality of Cabaceiras (Paraiba State, Northeast Brazil). Overall, we recorded 15 species, 14 genera, and 6 botanical families, from which Fabaceae (8 spp) and Anacardiaceae (3 spp) were the most prominent, due to having greater diversity of species. The most used native species in the community was Myracrodruon urundeuva Allemao (aroeira) and we also recorded the constant use of Prosopis juliflora (algaroba), which is an exotic species. The results evidenced the effective use of natural resources, and may complement in general ethnobotanical studies.

TL;DR: The use of madeira is one of the most important atividades humanas, historicamente reconhecida devido a gama de utilizações dada a esses recursos by the humanas as mentioned in this paper, utilizando-os das formas mais diversas.
Abstract: A utilização de madeira é uma dos principais atividades humanas, historicamente reconhecida historicamente devido a gama de utilizações dada a esses recursos pelas populações humanas, utilizando-os das formas mais diversas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar os usos de recursos vegetais em uma comunidade rural do semiárido paraibano, assim como seu de padrão de renovação. O inventário foi feito a partir de visitas mensais nas residências de uma comunidade rural do município de Cabaceiras, durante 12 meses, nas quais houve o registro de todos os itens presentes nas residências e nos locais em que os informantes desenvolvem suas atividades. Foram visitadas 61 residências que juntas abrigam cerca de 210 pessoas. Foi verificado o uso de 86 espécies, alocadas em nove categorias (combustível, construção rural, construção doméstica, tecnologia, mágico-religioso, medicinal, veterinário, ornamentação e outros usos, que inclui usos como higiene pessoal e sombra), de acordo com o uso dado aos produtos finais. As espécies nativas mais utilizadas foram o pereiro (Aspidosperma pyrifolium Mart.) e do marmeleiro (Croton blanchetianus Baill.), inseridas na categoria construção rural, principalmente na construção de cercas e a espécie exótica algaroba (Prosopis juliflora). A maior quantidade de usos distintos e de espécies foi verificada na categoria tecnologia, na qual foi registrado o uso de 16 espécies, todas registradas na primeira visita, sem mudanças posteriores. A utilização como combustível (na forma de lenha ou carvão) e na construção rural ganha uma representatividade significante devido a presença de renovação dos recursos combustíveis em todas as onze visitas mensais, com ênfase na aroeira (Myracrodruon urundeuva Allemão), catingueira (Poincianella pyramidalis Tul) e jurema (Mimosa tenuiflora), entretanto, sendo verificada uma substituição dessas espécies pelo uso de P. juliflora, no uso como carvão. Já na categoria construção rural, também foi verificada a extração mensal do A. pyrifolium Mart. e do C. blanchetianus Baill. Esses dados indicam a necessidade de politicas de conservação que visem à manutenção da flora silvestre, elaboradas a partir do reconhecimento da sua importância no cotidiano das populações tradicionais do semiárido.

TL;DR: This study showed that the residents of the three rural communities have limited knowledge of native food plants found in their communities, but they know where to find them, which parts they may use and how to consume them.
Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the local botanical knowledge of native food plants in three rural communities, located in the semiarid region of Paraiba State, Brazil, verifying possibilities of differences of knowledge among communities and between men and women. Semi-structured interviews about native plant knowledge and use were conducted with all householders in each community, totaling 117 informants. The species similarity among the communities of Pau D’Arco, Varzea Alegre, and Barroquinha was compared with Jaccard index, and the use value index (UVgeneral, UVcurrent, UVpotential) was used to determine the most important species. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare the use values among communities and genders. The consensus factor among the informants was calculated according to the uses cited, and the Wilcoxon test was used to compare the use values between men and women. We recorded 9 species belonging to 8 genera and 8 families in Varzea Alegre; 10 species, 9 genera, and 9 families in Barroquinha; and 7 species, 7 genera and 7 families in Pau D’Arco. Spondias tuberosa Arruda (Anacardiaceae) in Varzea Alegre, Spondias sp. (Anacardiaceae) in Barroquinha, and Ximenia americana L. (Olacaceae) in Pau D’Arco were the most prominent species. Preparation methods are slightly different in the three communities, and there is low similarity about species use among the communities. Regarding gender, the analysis of use value among the communities evidenced significant differences only for UVgeneral among women, specifically between Barroquinha and Pau D’Arco. For men and women within each community, there is a difference only for UVpotential in Barroquinha. This study showed that the residents of the three rural communities have limited knowledge of native food plants found in their communities, but they know where to find them, which parts they may use and how to consume them. The fact is that men know plants that are more distant from the residences and women know those that are next to them.

TL;DR: The studied area shows little evidence of human disturbance, with structure similar to other protected areas in Serido Caatinga and higher proportion of species with aggregated distribution or with a tendency to aggregation, revealing that the largest populations form small groups.
Abstract: In this work we describe the structure of arboreal and shrubby vegetation in Serido Ecological Station, municipality of Serra Negra do Norte, Rio Grande do Norte State, Brazil. We sampled and identified all individuals present in 30 plots of 200 m2 area with diameter at ground level ≥ 3 cm and total height ≥ 1 m,. Spatial distribution pattern was determined by Payandeh index. We registered 2,448 individuals, distributed in 22 species, 20 genera and 12 families. Density was 4,080 individuals ha -1 and basal area 17.50 m 2 ha -1 , while average height and diameter reached 2.45 m and 6.80 cm, respectively. The families with larger number of species were Fabaceae and Euphorbiaceae, giving emphasis in number of individuals of Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae and Apocynaceae. Poincianella pyramidalis , Aspidosperma pyrifolium and Croton blanchetianus were the most important species of the population accounting together for the greater number of individuals, basal area and importance value. The studied area shows little evidence of human disturbance, with structure similar to other protected areas in Serido Caatinga and higher proportion of species with aggregated distribution or with a tendency to aggregation, revealing that the largest populations form small groups.

TL;DR: A literature review was made of ethnobotanical articles related to the use and knowledge of medicinal and food plants employed by local populations within the original territories of the Caatinga and Atlantic Forest as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The Atlantic Forest and Caatinga ecosystems differ in terms of biodiversity and geoclimatic conditions but are similar in their rich socio-diversity and heterogeneity of vegetation types that comprise their floras. The objectives of this work were to map the ethnobotanical studies that have been conducted in these ecosystems and record the most investigated communities, regions, and vegetation formations related to this research. A literature review was made of ethnobotanical articles related to the use and knowledge of medicinal and food plants employed by local populations within the original territories of the Caatinga and Atlantic Forest. The areas with the highest concentrations of studies (Southeast and South regions in the Atlantic Forest and the states of Pernambuco and Paraiba in the Caatinga) reflect the presence of research groups in these regions. Until now, it was thought that ethnobotanical studies had been conducted throughout the Atlantic Forest and Caatinga; however, the results of this work show that both ecosystems contain areas that still need to be studied.
