Overview

Ethnobotanical study reveals overlapping firewood selection for domestic heating and artisanal pottery in rural Brazil, highlighting conservation risks for high-quality woody species.

Key Points

To identify and compare woody plant species utilized as firewood for domestic consumption and artisanal ceramic production in a rural semi-arid region.
Conducted semi-structured and free-listing ethnobotanical interviews in rural communities of Altinho, Pernambuco, Brazil.
Carried out two in situ residential inventories to record the plant species actively used as fuel.
Documented 39 woody species across 16 botanical families utilized for domestic and handicraft energy needs.
Identified that the most widely known and preferred firewood species with superior wood quality were shared between home use and pottery, concentrating extraction pressure on a limited group of taxa.
