“…Additionally, the presence of trees of different species in Las Delicias, mainly fruit and timber species, contributes to the highest UVs in this type of agroforestry system compared to home gardens and milpa (Acosta-Tolentino 2009). Notably, quantitative approaches, such as those performed in this study, allow us to know the statistical support of the close relationship between the ecological aspect and the UV of plants (Tomazini et al 2016). Thus, the UV not only allows the identification of the most wellknown and utilized species in a community but also quantifies the traditional knowledge (Amusa et al2012, Lucena et al 2013.…”

Agroforestry systems have cultural, economic, social, and biodiversity conservation significance and are essential for the subsistence of communities.Is there a difference in the richness, management and use of useful plants present in the agroforestry systems (home gardens, coffee plantations, and milpa)? What is the influence of sociodemographic factors on the distribution of traditional knowledge regarding plants of these systems?Las Delicias, municipality of Juquila Vijanos, Sierra Norte of Oaxaca, Mexico, from January 2016 to May 2018. Visits to three agroforestry systems and semistructured interviews with 30 families to learn how they use the plants and to calculate the use value (UV) for each species. The similarity of floristic composition between agroforestry systems and the influence of sociodemographic factors (age, gender, schooling, economic activity and language) in the traditional plant knowledge was evaluated. The methods used were chi squared and proportions analyses, and a generalized linear analysis with Poisson distribution.The three agroforestry systems consisted of 211 of useful plants; home gardens and coffee plantations had a greater similarity in floristic composition; the dissimilarity of the milpa agroecosystem is related to seasonality. The plants with higher UVs were those with multiple uses, and are found mainly in coffee plantations. Production in these spaces is complemented to satisfy the needs of the inhabitants. Gender and economic activity are factors that influence the distribution of traditional knowledge.Agroforestry systems provide a species richness differentiated for specific purposes but complementary to each other. coffee plantation, home gardens, milpa, use value. ResumenLos sistemas agroforestales tradicionales tienen una importancia cultural, económica, social y en conservación de la biodiversidad; son esenciales en la subsistencia de las comunidades. ¿Existe diferencia en la riqueza, manejo y uso de plantas útiles presentes en los sistemas agroforestales (huertos familiares, cafetales, milpa)? ¿Cuál es la influencia de los factores sociodemográficos en la distribución del conocimiento tradicional sobre las plantas de estos sistemas?Las Delicias, municipio de Juquila Vijanos, Sierra Norte de Oaxaca, México; de enero de 2016 a mayo de 2018. Recorridos por tres sistemas agroforestales y entrevistas semiestructuradas a 30 familias, para calcular el Valor de Uso de cada especie vegetal. Se evaluó la similitud de la composición florística entre los sistemas agroforestales y la influencia de factores sociodemográficos (edad, sexo, escolaridad, ocupación e idioma) en el conocimiento tradicional de plantas, mediante pruebas de Ji cuadrada, de proporciones y de un modelo lineal generalizado con distribución Poisson.Los sistemas agroforestales estudiados conservan 211 especies vegetales útiles; los huertos familiares y los cafetales tienen una mayor similitud florística; la disimilitud del sistema milpa se relaciona con su temporalidad. Las plantas con mayor Valor de Uso fuero...

“…Giraldi and Hanazaki (2010) emphasize that preference for such resources strengthens the traditional culture of health care and broadens contact with local biodiversity. Also, the use of these resources as a source of treatment is a safer method for many people, since they believe in the healing potential that plants offer besides have fewer adverse effects than industrialized drugs (Oliveira and Santos, 2016;Pedrollo et al, 2016). The data in Table 3 represent the central ideas and CSD on the opinion of population regarding drugs of, allopathic origin.…”

The objective of this study was to analyze the context of the management of people from traditional quilombola community, in relation to the use of plant species and allopathic drugs used in treatment of pain. Questionnaires were used to determine the socio-demographic profile and the interview-semistructured method with participants adopted. The analysis of data was done by statistics for the sociodemographic variables and the discourse of the collective subject to interpret the contents of the interview. There were 52 residents interviewed, predominantly (67%) by female. Most of the participants have low education level and the main occupational activity is agriculture. In the treatment of pain, herbal teas were considered the preferred method by the participants. Some used allopathic medicines, but attribute to plants the meaning of greater effectiveness in therapy. It has also been noted that informants did not use concomitant drugs and plants because of the fear of poisoning. It is concluded that there is a shortage of studies on the representations and meanings of the preference of inhabitants of traditional localities, considering plant species and industrialized drugs specific for pain, as well as for the treatment of diseases in general. Thus, it is expected that this work will arouse the interest of researchers in studying more about popular knowledge and health management.

“…Quando observamos o gradiente de acesso à água no distrito de Mórrope, como observado nos capítulos 1 e 2, vejo que algumas porções do território que teriam forte potencial agrícola acabam desenvolvendo outras atividades econômicas. Dois exemplo interessantes para se comparar com a inacessibilidade da água em alguns caseríos-mesmo que com processos distintos: o primeiro, é demonstrado por Kang et al (2008) Pedrollo et al (2016) indicam que a espécies cognitivamente salientes apresentam uma ampla distribuição geográficaassim como as duas mais citadas em Mórrope. Ademais, espécies menos utilizadas tendem a ser menos citadas ou ficarem ranqueadas por último (LYKKE, 1998;PEDROLLO et al, 2016).…”
