“…As a result, areas that were previously dominated by old-growth forests may be currently in early-successional stages (Figure 1m) or become areas for agriculture and livestock activities. Particularly in regions near communities, roads, or urban centers today, high densities of exotic plant and animal species are expected to be present (Fares et al, 2020;Ferreira et al, 2016;Pauletto et al, 2023;Salm et al, 2009).…”

Societal Impact StatementGlobal climate models that incorporate carbon sources and sinks usually consider that forest uptake of carbon is in a state of equilibrium. Both historical and paleoecological records suggest that this is commonly not the case for Amazonia. Here, the impacts of colonial practices on Amazonian Indigenous peoples and forests are reviewed. Human activities affect forests' successional stages, trajectories, and species composition. By increasing the spatial coverage of paleoecological records that focus on pre‐ and post‐Columbian periods, the long‐term interactions between humans and Amazonian forests and their role in affecting Earth's climate may be better understood.SummaryLegacy effects left by the activities of Indigenous people in Amazonia are well known. Although severe, widespread, and recently occurring, the impacts left post‐1492 CE have been less investigated. We review the impact of colonial practices on Indigenous peoples and Amazonian forests. We suggest that forests comprise the sum of their past events, in a mosaic of different cumulative successional trajectories depending on the type, frequency, intensity, and timing of human influence. In regions with a history of minimal human influence, old‐growth species sensitive to fire would be the dominant landscape. In regions with high pre‐Columbian and low colonial influence, old‐growth forests carrying pre‐Columbian ecological legacies would be prevalent. Regions occupied by Indigenous groups post‐1492 CE would also carry similar ecological legacies. In regions influenced by the Jesuits, mid‐successional forests are expected to be enriched with cacao trees. In regions of latex extraction during the rubber boom, mid‐growth forests would present high abundances of early and mid‐successional species and depletion of some species. In deforested areas, we expect early successional forests with influence of exotic useful species. This patchwork of history probably plays a large role in shaping today's forests, and the biodiversity and carbon dynamics documented within them. Paleoecological work focusing on the last millennium, although scarce, has the potential to detect these mosaics of past human influence, and they should be considered when estimating forest ages and successional stages across the basin.

“…At the same time, the small number of species found in riverside habitats is one species (1.1%). This is because fruits consumed directly by the community dominate the food plants in the forest, according to research (McLennan, 2013), many food plants in forests are dominated by fruit because they have particular adaptations related to their reproductive strategy, while the plants in the yard are cultivated (Pauletto et al, 2023).…”

Tribal community in the Bukit Bulan area, Limun District, Sarolangun Regency, Jambi. This research aims to identify the ethnobotany of food plant species by the Penghulu Tribe community in Sarolangun Regency, Jambi Province. This research was conducted in Napal Melintang and Meribung Villages. Research method ethnobotanical data on food plants were obtained through qualitative data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, in contrast, potential data were obtained through vegetation analysis and exploration methods. The study's results identified as many as 88 species from 35 families of food plants originating from cultivation and wild plants, which herbaceous plants dominated. Based on the results of interviews, there are many food plant species in the forest habitat. The part of the plant that is widely used by the community is fruit, and this is because people generally grow fruit in their yards and community gardens. Cultivators mostly use food plants for direct consumption. Conclusion this research The Penghulu tribe community's dependence on food plants is still high because they can utilize, gather, and process them. 88 species of food plants have been identified from 35 families, of which 77 produce carbohydrates, vegetables, and fruit.

The Penguluh Tribe is a local community in the Bukit Bulan Karst mountain area in Limun District, Sarolangun Regency, especially in the Limun River basin. Four villages comprise the Penguluh Tribe: Napal Melintang, Meribung, Mersip, and Temalang. Muslim members constitute the majority of the Penguluh Tribe. While the general language of the Penguluh community is Jambi Malay, the Jambi dialect of Padang is utilized in daily life. Agricultural livelihoods, gardening, gold panning, and forest and non-timber products. The knowledge system of the Penguluh Tribe is characterized by the discovery of artefacts (ancient writing or drawings) in Kandang Kerbau Cave, Air Lului Cave, Kasai Cave, Sekdes Cave, Lumut Cave, Limau Kape Cave and Gunsiu Cave. Primary data about the utilization of food and medicinal plants were acquired via snowball sampling techniques and in-depth interviews with informants concerning the varieties of food and medicinal plants employed by the Penguluh Tribe. Village communities still use traditional methods to treat various diseases, such as durian (Durio zibethinus), the leaves used as a potion to treat fever, and the fruit, which is also used as food.
