This article is a contribution to knowledge of the leaves used to wrap sarma rolls in several villages inhabited by Ukrainians in northern Romania. We interviewed 28 inhabitants of the villages Lunca la Tisa, Remeți, Bistra, Poienile de sub Munte, Valea Vişelui and Repedea. Most people use cabbage (Brassica oleracea) and grape (Vitis sp.) leaves to...
Currently more and more European countries are introducing lists of mushroom species allowed for commercial use. However these lists are far from the actual composition of mushroom species collected by local communities. Field research conducted in five villages located in central Mazovia, Poland presents a record of thirty five different taxa coll...
Badania przeprowadzone w gospodarczym obszarze Puszczy Białowieskiej w 2012 i 2013 roku określają potencjał odżywczy i leczniczy roślin runa boru sosnowego świeżego, grądu typowego i łęgu jesionowo-olszowego. Zasobność suchej masy jadalnej i leczniczej określono na podstawie pomiaru wszystkich gatunków roślin użytkowych odnotowanych na powierzchnia...
Background
The paper presents documentation of the traditional use of wild edible mushrooms in Mazovia (33,900 km²), a region of Poland.
Methods
A total of 695 semi-structured interviews were carried out among local informants in 38 localities proportionally distributed throughout the study area (one locality approximately every 30 km), asking whi...
For millennia, fungi have been known by various communities as a valuable source of nutrition and medicines, however traditional view on mycobiota has changed throughout the history. A major role in this context played past scholars and scientists whose impact on attitude towards mushroom collection is also seen in our times. Their confrontation wi...
Background: This study examines the spatial relationship between human populations, livestock and wild useful plants in Tajikistan, a key area along the ancient Silk Roads. It aims to understand how the distribution of these plants correlates with the presence of humans and livestock.
Methods: The study uses statistical analyses, including the LSVM...
The species-rich natural and seminatural grasslands of East-Central Europe have long offered diverse forages and fodder species for domestic livestock. The use and perception of forage and fodder plants are influenced by various agricultural, environmental, sociocultural, technical, and political factors. In our paper, we compared four indicator se...
An understanding of traditional ecological knowledge systems is increasingly acknowledged as a means of helping to develop global, regional and national, but locally relevant policies. Pastoralists often use lands that are unsuitable for crops due to biophysical and climatic extremities and variabilities. Forage plants of pastures are utilized by h...
This work, taking the form of a culinary book, is at the same time the result of ethnobotanical and botanical research conducted by members of the BG PAS conservation botany team - Dr Marcin Kotowski, Alidovar Sodatsairov and the director of BG PAS, Prof. Arkadiusz Nowak, in cooperation with Tajik scientists - Dr Murodbek Laldjebaev and Barfiya Pal...
Despite being located within a primary region of crop diversity, documentation of Tajik crop and crop wild relative (CWR)
resources is far from comprehensive, particularly regarding CWR. Here, we compile the first inventory of food CWR of
Tajikistan. A total of 549 food CWR taxa belonging to 36 families and 125 genera were documented as occurring i...
The paper presents the first syntaxonomic classification for juniper wood communities in Tajikistan with some remarks on their environmental gradients. A total of 119 relevés were sampled between 2015 and 2021 using the seven-degree Braun-Blanquet cover-abundance scale. They were classified by a modified TWINSPAN method. Diagnostic species were ide...
The search for the Garden of Eden has been going on for centuries. However, no one has yet attempted to associate it with the occurrence of a specific natural type of vegetation. We are also not aware what its current state and chances of survival are. In this work, we try to define the vegetation of Paradise, to visualize its past and predict its...
In this paper we present the first syntaxonomic classification for the thermophilous open wood and scrub vegetation in Tajikistan with some remarks on its environmental gradients. Altogether 143 relevés were sampled between 2014–2021 using the seven-degree cover-abundance scale of Braun-Blanquet. They were classified by the modified TWINSPAN method...
Background: Scientists frequently raise the topic of data deficiency related to the abundance and distribution of macrofungi in the context of climate change. Our study is the first detailed documentation on locals' perception of fungal ecology which covers a large mycophilous region of Europe (Mazovia, Poland).
Methods: A total of 695 semi-struc...
