“…Regarding the types of use discussed in the publications, the medical category predominated in 54% of all of the works that were assessed. This pattern is also found in conventional ethnobotanical studies and reflects a growing interest among researchers to investigate this usage category (Oliveira et al 2009). However, both recent documents and old manuscripts generally contain a greater degree of medicinal usagerelated detail; thus, the interest in these sources is not simply restricted to modern researchers but extends to historical naturalists.…”

Historical ethnobotany: an overview of selected studies

et al. 2014

Historical Ethnobotany is an area of research responsible for understanding past interrelationships between people and plant using written records and iconography. The literature on this topic is scattered, and many of these studies are not recognised as such; therefore, it is difficult to compile historical ethnobotanical data. Accordingly, this study attempted to draw a general picture of the publications in this field. The Scopus, ISI Web of Knowledge and Scirus databases were used to search for articles with such keywords as “Ethnobotany + History” and “Historical Ethnobotany” among others. After the studies were selected, information was extracted that included the continents addressed and historical ages. Most studies encompassed a time frame that began in the Modern Age (54.7%), and 46% of the studies were focused on the American continent. With regard to the nature of the source, 98% of the studies included written records, and publications that used the documental analysis as a secondary data in their scope of research were among the most frequent types of studies that were found. In respect to iconographic sources, paintings were used in 6% of the studies. A total of 66% of the studies involved a species or species group as the study object. Our survey revealed the vast scope of these Historical Ethnobotany studies. We believe that this scientific field has great potential for future development and that its findings will only grow in importance considering the current ethnobotanical debate.

“…Pesquisas de cunho etnobotânico podem ajudar planejadores, agências de desenvolvimento, organizações, governos e comunidades a conceber e implementar práticas de conservação e desenvolvimento (TUXILL; NABHAN, 2001). Essa ciência facilita o diálogo e a troca entre especialistas e outros atores sociais, a fi m de gerar novas formas de conhecimento e de novas demandas fi losófi cas, éticas, epistemológicas e institucionais (ALEXIADES, 2003;LUCENA, 2005;ALCORN, 1995;BEGOSSI, 1999;OLIVEIRA et al, 2009).…”

Resumo: Objetivou-se apontar estudos etnobotânicos como instrumentos de valorização e identifi cação de potenciais de proteção do conhecimento tradicional, ao se aproximarem das Indicações Geográfi cas (IGs), visando favorecer o desenvolvimento local baseado em novas soluções socioambientais. Investigou-se uma comunidade rural do Rio de Janeiro/Brasil, situada em UC de Mata Atlântica. Urge que tal aproximação seja promovida para que traga benefícios econômicos locais e subsidie políticas públicas. Palavras-chave: Etnobotânica. Indicação geográfi ca. Comunidades tradicionais.Abstract: Aimed to point out ethnobotanical studies as instrument for valorisation and identifi cation of potential protection of traditional knowledge, the approach of Geographical Indications (GIs), aiming to promote local development based on new social and environmental solutions. We investigated a rural community in Rio de Janeiro / Brazil, located in UC Atlantic. Urge that such an approach is promoted to bring local economic benefi ts and subsidize public policies. Key words: Ethnobotany. Geographical indication. Traditional communities.Résumé: Visant à souligner études ethnobotaniques comme un instrument pour la valorisation et l'identifi cation du potentiel de protection des savoirs traditionnels, l'approche des Indications Géographiques (IG), visant à promouvoir le développement local basé sur de nouvelles solutions sociales et environnementales. Nous avons étudié une communauté rurale de Rio de Janeiro/Brésil, située dans les UC de Mata Atlântica. Il est urgent qu'une telle approche est promu à apporter des avantages économiques locaux et et stimulent le développement des politiques publiques. Mots-clés: Ethnobotanique.

Se investigó una comunidad rural de Rio de Janeiro/Brasil, ubicado en la UC de Mata Atlântica. Urge a que se promueva este acercamiento para generar benefi cios económicos locales y subsidiar políticas públicas.

“…Some of these are more descriptive (Vieira & Martins 2000;Guarim-Neto & Morais 2003;Agra et al 2007b;Agra et al 2008;) and others test hypotheses Santos et al 2008b;Albuquerque et al 2009;Morales & Ladio 2009), including the application of systematic reviews and meta-analyses (Medeiros et al 2013a;Medeiros et al 2013b). In addition, some of these review studies use different levels of approach, for example, the national (Ritter et al 2015), regional (Agra et al 2007b) or state level (Guarim-Neto & Morais 2003;Silva & Albuquerque 2005).…”

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 Paraíba 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. Key words: ethnobotany, food plants, literature review, medicinal plants. ResumoOs ecossistemas Mata Atlântica e Caatinga apesar de diferirem em termos de biodiversidade e condições geoclimáticas se assemelham pela heterogeneidade de formações vegetais que compõem as suas floras e por serem detentores de uma rica sociodiversidade. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi de mapear as pesquisas etnobotânicas realizadas nos ecossistemas Mata Atlântica e Caatinga, chamando-se atenção para as comunidades mais investigadas, as regiões mais estudadas, assim como as formações vegetais em que se concentram maior número de pesquisas. Foi efetuada uma revisão bibliográfica sobre os artigos de cunho etnobotânico realizados em áreas pertencentes ao território original dos ecossistemas Caatinga e Mata Atlântica e que abordaram o uso ou o conhecimento de recursos vegetais medicinais e alimentícios por populações locais. As regiões com as maiores concentrações de estudos (região Sudeste e Sul na Mata Atlântica e os estados de Pernambuco e Paraíba na Caatinga), refletem a presença dos grupos de pesquisas localizados nessas regiões. As pesquisas etnobotânicas estão cumprindo o seu papel ao investigar e abranger todo o território ocupado pela Mata Atlântica e Caatinga, no entanto, diante do mapeamento realizado, percebe-se determinadas regiões em ambos os ecossistemas que ainda necessitam de um maior esforço de pesquisas. Palavras-chave: etnobotânica, plantas alimentícias, revisão bibliográfica, plantas medicinais.
