商品描述

Research in recent years has increasingly shifted away from purely academic research, and into applied aspects of the discipline, including climate change research, conservation, and sustainable development. It has by now widely been recognized that "traditional" knowledge is always in flux and adapting to a quickly changing environment. Trends of globalization, especially the globalization of plant markets, have greatly influenced how plant resources are managed nowadays. While ethnobotanical studies are now available from many regions of the world, no comprehensive encyclopedic series focusing on the worlds mountain regions is available in the market. Scholars in plant sciences worldwide will be interested in this dynamic content.
The field (and thus the market) of ethnobotany and ethnopharmacology has grown considerably in recent years. Student interest is on the rise, attendance at professional conferences has grown steadily, and the number of professionals calling themselves ethnobotanists has increased significantly. Various societies of such professionals include the Society for Economic Botany, the International Society of Ethnopharmacology, the Society of Ethnobiology, the International Society for Ethnobiology, and many regional and national societies in the field that currently have thousands of members. Growth has been most robust in BRIC countries.
The objective of this new MRW on Ethnobotany of Mountain Regions is to take advantage of the increasing international interest and scholarship in the field of mountain research. We anticipate including the best and latest research on a full range of descriptive, methodological, theoretical, and applied research on the most important plants for each region. Each contribution will be scientifically rigorous and contribute to the overall field of study.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

近年來的研究越來越多地從純學術研究轉向應用學科的各個方面,包括氣候變遷研究、保育和可持續發展。現在已廣泛認識到,「傳統」知識始終處於變動之中,並在快速變化的環境中不斷適應。全球化的趨勢,特別是植物市場的全球化,對當前植物資源的管理方式產生了重大影響。雖然目前來自世界各地的民族植物學研究已經相當豐富,但市場上尚未出現專注於世界山區的綜合百科全書系列。全球的植物科學學者將對這一動態內容感興趣。

民族植物學和民族藥理學的領域(因此市場)在近年來顯著增長。學生的興趣上升,專業會議的參加人數穩步增長,自稱為民族植物學家的專業人士數量也顯著增加。這些專業人士的各種社會組織包括經濟植物學會、國際民族藥理學會、民族生物學會、國際民族生物學會,以及許多目前擁有數千名成員的地區和國家社會。增長在金磚國家中最為強勁。

這本新出版的《山區民族植物學》目的是利用對山區研究領域日益增長的國際興趣和學術研究。我們預計將包括針對每個地區最重要植物的全範圍描述性、方法論、理論和應用研究的最佳和最新研究。每一篇貢獻都將具備科學嚴謹性,並對整體研究領域有所貢獻。

Prof. Dr. Bussmann earned his M.Sc. (Diploma) in Biology at Universität Tübingen, in 1993 and his doctorate at Universität Bayreuth in 1994. He is an ethnobotanist and vegetation ecologist, and currently Head of the Department of Botany at the State Museum of Natural History in Karlsruhe, Germany, and Full Professor of Ehnobotany at Ilia State University. Before Dr. Bussmann was director of William L. Brown Center at Missouri Botanical Garden and held appointments as Research Fellow in Geography and the Environment at University of Texas at Austin, as Associate Professor of Botany and Scientific Director of Harold Lyon Arboretum at University of Hawaii, and at University of Bayreuth from 1994 to 2003. His work focuses on ethnobotanical research, and the preservation of traditional knowledge, in mountain regions. He has authored over 400 peer reviewed papers, over 1300 peer reviewed book chapters, and authored or edited 38 books.

Prof. Dr. Zaal Kikvidze graduated in 1978 from Tbilisi State University (Georgia). He worked as a researcher in the National Academy of Sciences of Georgia and in the Institute of Teachers' Training of Georgia and later graduated in the Certificate Course in Environmental Education at Jordanhill College, Strathclyde University, Glasgow, Scotland, UK. In 1993 he defended his Doctor of Science (Habil.) thesis. Dr. Kikvidze worked as Associate Researcher in Chiba University (Japan), as Ramon-y-Cajal Fellow in the Consejo Superior de las Investigaciones Científicas (Spain), and Associate Professor of the University of Tokyo (Japan). The major lines of his research are plant community ecology, species diversity and geographical distributions on ecological gradients, rules of species coexistence and interactions among organisms, environmental education, ethno-ecology, and socio-ecology. In 2012 he became Professor of Ecology and 2014 Director of the Institute of Ethnobiology and Socioecology at Ilia State University.

Prof. Dr. Mostafa Elachouri is Professor at Mohammed first University, Oujda, Morroco, Department of Biology, laboratory of Physiology, Genetics and Ethnopharmacology. He obtained his BSc from University Mohammed V. Rabat (Morocco) in 1980. He continued his studies in Strasbourg-France, for his MSc degree. In 1985 Professor Elachouri Mostafa obtained his DSc at Luis Pasteur University of Strasbourg-France under the supervision of Professor J.A. Hoffman (Nobel Prize in Medicine 2011). In 1997 he obtained PhD in Zoology from Mons-Hainaut University in Mons-Belgium. His main area of interest focuses on Pharmacology and Toxicology, Biomedical Sciences, and Environmental Sciences. His area of expertise includes Ethnopharmacology, Ethnobotany, Ethnomedicine, Toxicology, Environmental sciences, Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Taxonomy, Vernacular names, Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Healthcare, Traditional Medicine, Toxic Plants, and Pesticides. He has published wide range of peer reviewed research articles and book chapters and edited several books.
