The Skill Acquisition Process Relative to Ethnobotanical Methods

Ethnobotany is an interdisciplinary field in that it utilizes methods from a wide array of science traditions, especially botany and anthropology.Ethnobotanical specialties, such as medical ethnobotany, require knowledge and skills in additional areas, such as chemistry, medical anthropology and pharmacology, in order to be sufficiently competent to define and undertake the more specialized ethnobotanical research.However, some skills transcend disciplines.Basic computer competence is needed in virtually all studies to organize and analyze research data.
