Understanding the distribution and floristic features of native forest plants, as well as the reasons that lead local people to collect them, is of great value for planning and implementing forest conservation and rehabilitation projPublished: 8 September 2014 Ethnobotany Research & Applications 386www.ethnobotanyjournal.org/vol12/i1547-3465-12-385.pdf est types, namely Origanum syriacum L., Malva parviflora L., and Arum palaestinum Boiss., and that some plant species are collected from a particular forest type. The main uses of the collected plants are food and medicine. The study results suggest value in taking into account the behavior of people who collect native forest plants when designing fragile forest ecosystem restoration programs. These programs should be community-based in order to achieve ecosystem sustainability and prevent biodiversity erosion. IntroductionThe Mediterranean region has provided examples of human interactions with plants (ethnobotany sensu Jones (1941)) over the past decades through studies of collecting native plants for food and medicine (Aburjai et al. 2007, Ali-Shtayeh et al. 2008, El-Darier & El-Mogaspi 2009, Faker et al. 2009, Rigat et al. 2007. Previous ethnobotanical research in the Mediterranean region has identified about 2,300 different plant and fungi taxa which are gathered and consumed (Rivera et al. 2006). Ethnobotanical data contribute to ecosystem restoration and forest sustainability management programs that involve all stakeholders including communities surrounding forests. This involvement is crucial to achieve the indispensable target "sustainability," both through rewarding people and ecosystems. Choudhary et al. (2008) indicated that today's ethnobotanical studies, including applied projects, have potential to reduce poverty levels. Thus, it is important to define the relationship between people and forest as recommended by Michon et al. (2007), who called for a new concept of land management in which production and conservation are compatible and in which there is no choice to be made between people and nature. Accordingly, this study focused on investigating such a relationship in order to help stakeholders implement effective conservation management plans while also reducing the poverty of the local people.The northern area of Jordan contains three types of forests: pine forest, deciduous oak forest, and evergreen oak forest (Al-Eisawi 1996, El-oqlah et al. 1985, Kaspligil 1956, Lahham et al. 1987, Long 1957, Zohary 1962 These forest areas receive the highest precipitation levels in Jordan, with annual rainfall amounts ranging from 400 to 600 mm. The area is bordered by the Irano-Turanian and Sudanian vegetation territories from the west and the Irano-Turanian and Saharo-Arabian vegetation from the east (Al-Eisawi 1996).Jordan's forest area is less than 1% of the total country. This area is declining both in regard to quality and quantity due to urbanization, shifting olive cropping at the expense of forests, grazing, and climate change,...

“…The other case for which satellite images are not enough to identify the land-use is complex agroforests (Michon et al, 2007), which mimic the natural forest ecosystem in terms of structure and processes, but which are based on the establishment and management of a large range of useful tree species. Most trees in complex agroforests have been chosen by farmers for their production of fruits, latex or resin, generally all of commercial value, so that agroforests often represent the main income generating part of farmers land.…”

Where are the trees outside forest in Brazil?

-Trees outside forests (ToF) is often a misunderstood category. This is the case in Brazil as shown by the lack of data on ToF reported until now by the country. In this article, ToF are understood in relation to the FAO definition of forest because it is the definition used in Brazil for the National Forest Inventory. I provide a definition of ToF, detail the main sets as inferred from this definition, propose to focus on a category of ToF as an efficient and realistic first step towards the assessment of ToF countrywide, and I illustrate the diversity of ToF-based systems in Brazil, from relatively isolated trees in agroforestry fields to dense mixed tree formations that cannot be distinguished from forests on satellite images. A recent publication has placed Brazil as the world leader in terms of the total biomass carbon stored by one ToF set, trees on agricultural land. This result could stimulate the desire for Brazil to better assess not only trees on agricultural land but also trees on urban land, the two major sets of trees outside forests. The present paper can help those who will undertake this challenging and exciting task. Onde estão as árvores fora da floresta no Brasil?Resumo -Árvores fora das florestas (AFF/Trees outside Forests -ToF) é um conceito frequentemente mal compreendido. Esse é o caso no Brasil, como demonstra a falta de dados do país sobre AFF, até o momento. Neste artigo, AFF é entendida conforme a definição de floresta da FAO, porque é a mesma utilizada pelo Brasil, no contexto do Inventário Florestal Nacional. Este artigo propõe uma definição de AFF e detalha seus principais agrupamentos, determinados a partir dessa definição; propõe também concentrar-se em um agrupamento de AFFs como um primeiro passo -eficiente e realista -para a avaliação de AFFs em todo o país. Além disso, é ilustrada a diversidade dos sistemas que envolvem AFF no Brasil, desde árvores relativamente isoladas em sistemas agroflorestais a densas formações de árvores heterogêneas que não podem ser distinguidas das florestas nas imagens de satélite. Uma publicação recente colocou o Brasil como líder mundial em termos de carbono total de biomassa armazenado por um conjunto de AFFs em áreas agrícolas. Esse resultado poderia estimular o país a reportar não apenas as árvores em áreas agrícolas, mas também as árvores em áreas urbanas, os dois principais agrupamentos de árvores fora da floresta. Espera-se que o presente artigo contribua com aqueles que empreenderão essa tarefa desafiadora e excitante.
