Over centuries, indigenous peoples, traditional societies and local communities have developed their own specific knowledge regarding plant use, management, and conservation. The history of plant use by humans as food and to treat diverse ailments dates back to ancient civilizations. Even though the advent of allopathic medicine has somehow minimized the role of medicinal plants in favor of synthetic drugs, a number of modern drug discoveries have been based on medicinal plants used by indigenous peoples. Ethnobiology is the burgeoning interdisciplinary scientific field which covers all sorts of interactions between plants and people, and Central Asia is recognized as a plant diversity hot spot. The mountains and valleys of this region are rich in unique medicinal and food plant species. Local communities residing in the mountain regions of Central Asia 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 book provides comprehensive information on cross-culture variation in the traditional uses of plants, fungi, and animal species as food, medicine, and for cultural purposes among the diverse communities of Uzbekistan. The key areas of focus include plant diversity in Uzbekistan, cross cultural variation in traditional uses of plant species, high-value medicinal and food plant species, and threats and conservation status of plant species and traditional knowledge. 001476338 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001476338 650_0 $$aEthnobiology$$zUzbekistan. 001476338 650_0 $$aHuman ecology$$zUzbekistan. 001476338 650_0 $$aMedicinal plants$$zUzbekistan. 001476338 650_0 $$aPlant diversity$$zUzbekistan. 001476338 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001476338 7001_ $$aKhojimatov, Olim K.,$$eeditor. 001476338 7001_ $$aGafforov, Yusufjon,$$eeditor. 001476338 7001_ $$aBussmann, Rainer,$$eeditor.$$1https://isni.org/isni/000000004932631X 001476338 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tEthnobiology of Uzbekistan.$$dCham : Springer, 2023$$z9783031230301$$w(OCoLC)1363813803 001476338 830_0 $$aEthnobiology. 001476338 852__ $$bebk 001476338 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-23031-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001476338 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1476338$$pGLOBAL_SET 001476338 980__ $$aBIB 001476338 980__ $$aEBOOK 001476338 982__ $$aEbook 001476338 983__ $$aOnline 001476338 994__ $$a92$$bISE
