摘要: There is increasing interest in home gardens (HGs) as biodiversity hot spots. However, knowledge on how sociocultural characteristics and environment influence management of HG species still limited. Eliciting these links helps illustrate could conserve biodiversity. This study addressed the following hypotheses: (i) age gender shape species; (ii) varies across phytochorological zones; (iii) use values (UVs) are correlated to their ecological importance (iv) mostly used for food medicinal purposes. Data were collected from 285 HGs, three zones Benin, using semi-structured interviews. Quantitative analyses performed ethnobotanical indexes statistical tests. Our results confirmed our assumptions except hypothesis (i). Gender did not determine species. Nevertheless, noticeable differences encountered among regarding s...
