“…Still, addressing the use indicated for plants in home gardens, the cultivation/maintenance for shading stands out, pointing to 9.4% (29 species-502 individual plants). The shaded areas in home gardens are often used for activities such as leisure, rest, and work [8], also providing an important microclimate to the development of different plant and animal species [71] where they constitute the places of preference for coexistence by families due to the sensations of environmental comfort [72], including strengthening more resilient green cities [73].…”

“…For the floodplain, it was reported during the research that there are difficulties in the cultivation of tree species in the areas subjected to flooding, which restricts the insertion of the tree component. Thus, native species with the capacity to adapt to the seasonal regime are prioritized [74], whereas home garden owners demand less effort to insert perennial crop species in their home gardens, opting to resort to spontaneous species of native origin [73]. In this environment, potted cultivation is recurrent due to the ease of transportation between homes, a typical activity due to periodic floods.…”

Agroforestry home gardens are integrated arrangements of common vegetable plants near residences, resembling tropical forests. They cultivate multiple species to meet families’ basic needs, including food, medicine, and family activities. This study aimed to assess the composition and use of plant species in agroforestry home gardens in three municipalities in the western region of Pará. The study analyzed 119 home gardens in Belterra, Mojuí dos Campos, and Santarém in Pará, Brazilian Amazonia. These home gardens span peri-urban, urban, floodplain, indigenous, and tourist land zones. Data were collected through questionnaires and visits, surveying 5323 plants from 188 species and 62 plant families. The findings revealed that 80.5% of plants concentrated in just 18.6% of the species, with no significant difference in species per home garden across zones. Notably, food species, particularly fruit-bearing plants, dominated these home gardens. This indicates a potential emphasis on incentive programs and public policies. Most home gardens contained up to 17 plant species, while less than half included medicinal plants. Native and exotic species were equally represented, with native plants valued for shading benefits. Agroforestry home gardens are vital for conserving and cultivating food species. Their specific purposes influence species distribution and selection, showcasing their socioeconomic and environmental significance. Thus, recognizing and investing in these land-use systems is crucial to maintain and enhance regional benefits.

Os quintais agroflorestais são considerados sistemas mais antigos de uso do solo, sendo tradicionalmente praticados por membros da família que manejam no entorno das residências uma diversidade de plantas para inúmeras finalidades. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a riqueza e composição florística de quintais agroflorestais da comunidade de Genipaúba no município de Santa Bárbara no estado do Pará. Foram analisados 20 quintais, a seleção dos quintais se deu pelo método de amostragem por conveniência, levando em consideração a disponibilidade dos mantenedores dos quintais e a identificação botânica foi feita in loco. Para estimar a estrutura horizontal foram utilizados parâmetros fitossociológicos (frequência e densidade) e para estimar a diversidade dos quintais foram utilizados o Índice Shannon-Wiener e Equabilidade de Pielou. Foram identificadas 84 espécies vegetais distribuídas em 49 famílias botânicas, a família com o maior número de indivíduos foi a Arecaceae (130). As espécies mais comuns entre os quintais foram Theobroma grandiflorum (cupuaçu) e Euterpe oleracea (açaí), as quais obtiveram também as maiores frequências relativa 7,33% e 6,47%, respectivamente. Quanto à forma de vida das espécies, o estrato arbóreo teve a maior predominância. A categoria de uso que teve maior destaque nos quintais foi a alimentícia. Em relação ao Índice Shannon-Wiener, o valor representa uma alta diversidade de espécies entre essas áreas. Os quintais apresentaram riqueza e diversidade consideradas altas e são compostas principalmente por espécies frutíferas.

Agroforestry homegardens are integrated arrangements of common vegetable plants in areas close to residences, which follow a structure similar to that of tropical forests, with the cultivation of multiple species to meet the basic needs of families, such as the provision of food and medicine, as well as ensuring an environment for other family activities. Considering the importance of these environments, this work aimed to address the composition and use of plant species in agroforestry homegardens, in order to support society initiatives and government policies to strengthen the management of natural resources and individual and collective well-being in the region. For this, 119 homegardens were studied in the municipalities of Belterra, Mojuí dos Campos and Santarém, in the state of Pará, in the Brazilian Amazonia, comprising five different zones (peri-urban, urban, floodplain, indigenous land and tourist land), obtaining the data via questionnaires and guided visitation by the residents. A total of 5,323 vegetal individual plants were surveyed, distributed in 188 species and 62 botanical families. The data showed that 80.5% of the individual plants are concentrated in 18.6% of the species, with no significant difference in the average of species per homegarden in the five zones. The predominance of species for food use, primarily fruit-bearing, stands out, showing a possible direction for incentive actions and/or for the ordering of public policies and programs aimed at these spaces. Most homegardens have up to 17 plant species; less than half of homegardens have species intended for medicinal use; and there is percentage parity between native plant species and those of exotic origin, where native plants stand out for shading. Agroforestry homegardens play a crucial role in the conservation and cultivation of species for food purposes, with the cultivation or maintenance of plants based on their various purposes, showing distinct profiles of distribution and choice of species, evidencing their socioeconomic and environmental importance. Thus, it is important that these land use systems are valued, investing financial resources in actions and projects aimed at maintaining and enhancing their benefits for the region.
