subject of research interest
STUDY DOMAIN
information on how local people interact with their natural environment
ETHNOBOTANICAL DATA
collection of information gathered in systematic way
DATA SET
a member of local community who share cultural and ecological knowledge
Informant
all members of the population have an equal statistical chance of being included
Random Sample
names of informants might be put
in a bucket and then several
names pulled out
Simple
from a list of people or map of houses you
could select every third (or fourth, fifth, etc.)
person or house - if every 3rd house is a
“corner house” then this corner pattern could
destroy the randomness of the sample

SPECIMEN
ETHNOBOTANICAL AND BOTANICAL SPECIMEN TYPES
herbarium specimen
voucher specimen
reference specimen
specimen for determination
collection
duplicate
permanent record of
the plant mounted and
placed in herbarium
herbarium specimen
permanent record of the
plant that is known
by certain community
voucher specimen
sample (foto) used in naming,
sorting and other tasks carried
out with local participant
reference specimen
allowing to plant taxonomist
to identify the species
of the collection
specimen for determination
set of plants pertaining to one species collected at the same
time in one locality designated by unique collection number
collection
specimen in numbered set
duplicate
container used to keep field samples
viable by maintaining a cool, humid environment
Vasculum
instrument for
measuring angles of slope (or tilt), elevation or
inclination of an object with respect to gravity
Clinometer
A hardbound book specially impregnated
with resin to make it substantially stronger
as well as water resistant
FIELD NOTEBOOK
taxonomic method that uses a short genetic marker in an organism’s DNA to identify it as belonging to a particular species
DNA BARCODING
special (wet) method for humid, tropical
and coastal conditions adopted to prevent
rapid mold growth before the specimens
can be placed in drying cabinets
SCHWEINFURTH METHOD
repository of preserved and labeled plant specimens, arranged
in taxonomical and geographical order.
HERBARIUM
Low drying temperatures between 30 and 50°C are recommended
to protect sensitive active ingredients
PLANT SAMPLES DRYING
protecting an endangered species
outside its natural habitat
ex-situ
conservation of genetic
resources in natural populations
in-situ
process where cells, tissues
and organs (including dormant buds and pollen)
susceptible to damage caused by chemical
reactivity (e.g. enzymes) are preserved by
cooling to sub-zero temperatures
CRYOPRESERVATION
set of
rules that govern the
scientific naming
International Code of
Nomenclature for algae,
fungi, and plants
developed binomial
classification scheme for
plants
