| Resumo: | [EN]The relationships between vegetal biodiversity and uses of plants are analysed. The main use categories are described and some examples of edible and medicinal speciesor plants used in folk technology are given to show the importance of biodiversity in traditional cultures. The knowledge and use of plants are an important component of biocultural diversity, a heritage that must be preserved and documented. This wisdom is being lost due to socioeconomic changes, but it might be helpful for understanding how to harmonize the use and conservation of biodiversity. The state of the art in ethnobotanical research in Spain is analysed and a list of literature is given, including universitary research works, such as doctoral and master degree theses. |
