Ethnobotany of the Mountain Regions of Eastern Europe
Springer International Publishing
978-3-031-87801-5 (ISBN)
This new Major Reference Work on the Ethnobotany of Mountain Regions of Eastern Europe: Carpathians covers in detail the mountains and vallies of this region, which are known to be rich in unique medicinal and food plant species. Local communities residing in the mountain regions of Eastern Europe possess unique knowledge of surrounding resources, which is the result of many years of interaction with and selection of the most desirable and pervasive plant species present. In this context this major reference work provides comprehensive information on cross-culture variation in the traditional uses of plants as food, medicine, and for cultural purposes among these diverse communities residing in Eastern Europe. The key areas of focus include plant diversity in the Carpathians, cross cultural variation in traditional uses of plant species by these communities, high-value medicinal and food plant species, and threats and conservation status of plant species and traditional knowledge.
