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. This new MRW on Ethnobotany of
Mountain Regions covers the latest scholarship in the field of
mountain research. It offers 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 was scientifically rigorous and contributes to the
overall field of study.
