This study represents the first in-depth ethnobotanical in province of Uíge northern Angola and documents traditional knowledge Bakongo people living area. Due to deforestation frequent fires, degraded savannahs dominate landscape region. Here we provide a list useful plants from these including quantitative data about cultural importance respective species, aiming on one hand conserve local other create reliable basis for research projects region.Field work was conducted April May 2014 5...
Aims:The production of green composites based on natural fibres is rising with regard to increasing environmental problems and declining fossil raw materials.Bast papaya (Carica L.) accumulate plantations at a large scale but remain an unused resource.The characterisation the bast allows first evaluation potential papaya-fibres for use in composites.
Background and aims – Located in the transition zone of Guineo-Congolian Zambezian phytochoria, Angolan provinces Uíge Cuanza Norte are particular interest for floristic studies high biodiversity is expected. Nevertheless, explorations vegetation relatively rare. Our study to supplement a recent checklist vascular plants Angola. Methods Data were collected during 17 field trips between 2013 2018, which herbarium specimens prepared later identification plant species. The results compared with...
Angola is a tropical country with many biogeographical units and, therefore, has high floristic diversity. Although an increasing number of studies been carried out in recent years, the still considered to be underinvestigated as species being collected were previously unknown there. Several scientific groups working different parts contributed this paper their data from biodiversity assessments. With we can add 67 newly recorded for Angola, including two new generic records and five alien...
