The relationship of people with natural resources is guided by different sociocultural, ecological and evolutionary factors. Regarding food plants, it is not different. Studies around the world have evaluated the effects of socioeconomic factors, such as age, gender, income, profession, education level, time of residence, ethnic diversity, religion, festive rituals, access to urban areas and migrations. In this sense, the objective of the present study was to characterize the diversity of knowledge and use of food plants by people from Serra dos Morgados and evaluate if the socioeconomic factors influence knowledge and consumption of food plants in the community.
This research was conducted in the village of Serra dos Morgados, municipality of Jaguarari, Bahia, with the purpose of evaluating the factors that influence in the knowledge and use of food plants. Socioeconomic data such as age, gender, time of residence, and monthly income were collected. The free list technique was applied during the collection of ethnobotanical data in order to analyze the preference of the plants based on the salience index (SI). To analyze the factors that influence knowledge and use forms, we used GLM Lasso.
A total of 33 people were interviewed, 8 men and 25 women; their age ranged from 30 to 82 years. People cited 98 species of plants, 41 species being identified of spontaneous occurrence. The plant with the highest salience index (SI) was "cheirosa" (Psidium ganevii) (SI = 0.5679), followed by "massaranduba" (Micropholis sp.) (SI = 0.4323); "araça" (Campomanesia guazumifolia) (SI = 0.3320); and "cambuí" (Siphoneugena sp.) (SI = 0.3144).
The main factors that influence knowledge and use forms in the locality were family income and the collection site, with homegardens cited as the preferred area for collection of food plants. This study provided an overview related to potentially important species for a community located in a region where there are few ethnobiological studies. The results presented here can be used in future studies, providing clues for investigations. Also, there is a contribution to the conservation of biocultural aspects related to the use of food plants in a community living in mountainous regions.
人与自然的关系受到不同的社会文化、生态和进化因素的影响。对于食用植物来说，情况并非如此。世界各地的研究已经评估了社会经济因素的影响，如年龄、性别、收入、职业、教育水平、居住时间、种族多样性、宗教、节日仪式、进入城市地区和移民。从这个意义上说，本研究的目的是描述 Serra dos Morgados 地区人们对食用植物的知识和使用的多样性，并评估社会经济因素是否会影响社区对食用植物的知识和消费。
本研究在巴伊亚州 Jaguarari 市的 Serra dos Morgados 村进行，目的是评估影响食用植物知识和使用的因素。收集了年龄、性别、居住时间和月收入等社会经济数据。在收集民族植物学数据时应用了自由列表技术，以便根据显着性指数（SI）分析植物的偏好。为了分析影响知识和使用形式的因素，我们使用了 GLM Lasso。
共采访了 33 人，其中 8 名男性和 25 名女性；年龄从 30 岁到 82 岁不等。人们共提到了 98 种植物，其中 41 种是自然发生的。具有最高显着性指数（SI）的植物是“cheirosa”（Psidium ganevii）（SI=0.5679），其次是“massaranduba”（Micropholis sp.）（SI=0.4323）；“araça”（Campomanesia guazumifolia）（SI=0.3320）；和“cambuí”（Siphoneugena sp.）（SI=0.3144）。
影响当地知识和使用形式的主要因素是家庭收入和采集地点，首选的采集食用植物的区域是家庭菜园。本研究提供了一个与位于生物多样性研究较少的地区的社区相关的重要物种概述。这里呈现的结果可用于未来的研究，为调查提供线索。此外，它还为保护与山区社区食用植物使用相关的生物文化方面做出了贡献。
