We conducted surveys in this terrain make an inventory used traditionally for treatment diabetes. MethodsA purposive sampling method was applied selection participants; semi-structured interviews were collection data. Voucher specimen each plant species preserved Herbarium Department Botany University Science Technology...
Background: In Kurram district of Pakistan, people use medicinal plants to cure a variety livestock diseases. This study was conducted with the aims document indigenous knowledge used in veterinary practices district.Methods: Ethnoveterinary data were collected through semi-structured interviews 97 participants that purposedly chosen at random locations and quantitatively analyzed using relative frequency citation (RFC) value (UV).Results: total 81 belonging 43 families recorded. Asteraceae...
The residents of remote areas mostly depend on folk knowledge medicinal plants to cure different ailments. present study was carried out document and analyze traditional use regarding the among communities residing in Koh-e-Safaid Range northern Pakistani-Afghan border.A purposive sampling method used for selection informants, information ethnomedicinal collected through semi-structured interviews. data analyzed quantitative indices viz. relative frequency citation, value, family value....
The current study on the traditional use of medicinal plants was carried out from February 2018 to March 2020, in Gokand Valley, District Buner, Pakistan. goal collect, interpret, and evaluate data application plants. Along with comprehensive notes individual species, we calculated Use Value (UV), Relative Frequency Citation (RFC), Report (UR), Fidelity Level (FL), Informant Consensus Factor (FCI), as well Family Importance (FIV). During study, a total 109 species belonging 64 families were...
Abstract Background The Shui are a small Chinese sociolinguistic group living in Sandu Autonomous County, south of Guizhou Province. people have accumulated and developed rich traditional medicinal knowledge, which has played significant role their healthcare. Traditional ethnic herbal medicines, like ethnomedicine, become an important resource rural development However, not much research been conducted to document the plants traditionally used by people. This study’s aims (1) record current...
Understanding residents' perceptions of ecosystem services (ESs) is important for modern management. However, these are often overlooked in managing nature reserves, leading to decreased participation policy implementation. This study proposes investigate the and ecological concepts contained ESs among residents using a questionnaire survey. The results showed that: (1) Residents prioritize supporting they value "leisure recreation" most, followed by "air purification" "habitat animals...
Background: The use of plants for different ethnobotanical purposes is a common practice in the remote areas developing countries, particularly reference to human and animal healthcare. For this aim, it important document ethnomedicinal livestock healthcare from unexplored regions. Objective: current study aimed medicinal assess their conservation status. We hypothesized that Central Kurram, due its remoteness maintenance traditions would show distinct differences plant comparison other...
Biodiversity is crucial for ecosystem functioning, but it rapidly declining due to human activities and climate change. Protecting biodiversity has become a key priority global environmental conservation actions. Rare endangered species have great impact on the ecosystem, yet their limited survival capacity, they are more prone extinction, thus exerting significant biodiversity. However, current research reveals lack of information concerning potential distribution changes these species....
Abstract In the current investigation, 16 samples of six species genus Polygonatum were collected from different geographical regions in China. Leaf micromorphological traits studied detail using scanning electron microscopy. About five‐leaf used for each regions. A significant variation was found foliar epidermal such as stomata types and their distribution, cell shape, anticlinal wall pattern, various trichomes. Polygonal cells observed P. cyrtonema , odoratum sibiricum filipes rectangular...
Rural landscapes are experiencing ecosystem degradation due to urbanization and rapid suburban expansion. Ecosystem services derived from natural resources essential public facilitated by social capital collectively address the growingly diverse ecological requirements of rural residents. Even so, often trade-offs, highlighting necessity enhance their coordinated development. However, it remains unclear how use identified thresholds delineate functional zones. This will scientifically guide...
ABSTRACT Amid ongoing habitat degradation and fragmentation, along with the disruption of traditional moving routes, Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework underscores urgent need to enhance species connectivity improve their adaptability climate change. Recent instances long‐distance movements by Asian elephants ( Elephas maximus ) have raised concerns about potential for such events become more frequent under future scenarios. A landscape adaptation strategy is urgently needed...
Abstract Although considerable progress has recently been made in the taxonomic study of Asparagaceae, but Polygonatum remains one most poorly investigated genus. Therefore, present was designed with aim, to document pollen micromorphology closely related taxa and its significance. Pollen micro‐morphological features were observed using scanning electron microscopy—SEM). The grains are monad, navicular, monocolpate, radially symmetrical. A significant variation exine sculpturing. Moreover,...
The traditional antidiabetic plant Viscum album (V. album) was collected from the oak in wild at Maidan, Khyber District, of Pakistan, for assessment its potential and phytochemical profile. Lowering blood glucose level, antioxidant effect, lipids profile, liver function marker enzymes, kidney markers were evaluated extract glibenclamide treated groups, normal as well diabetic control groups. An elevated level (Cholesterol, TG, LDL), enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP), (bilirubin, creatinine, urea)...
Background: Pakistan has a unique biodiversity of monocotyledon flora and due to its climatic condition huge number medicinal plants are distributed in the area. Ethnobotany plays crucial role understanding dynamic relationships between biological diversity social cultural systems. However, studies about ethnomedicinal significance monocot taxa very limited. Methods: This study documented indigenous uses selected taxa. The data was obtained through semi-structured interviews with local men,...
Medicinal plants are important treasures for the treatment of different types diseases. Current study provides significant ethnopharmacological information, both qualitative and quantitative on medical related to children disorders from district Bannu, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province Pakistan. The information gathered was quantitatively analyzed using informant consensus factor, relative frequency citation use value method establish a baseline data more comprehensive investigations...
