Abstract(s)
Traditional plant use was/is largely based on a rich and diverse wild flora existing in the Portuguese north-eastern region and on daily agricultural practices and management. Decades of isolation and economic and social constrains promoted a local knowledge and expertise and constructed a folk plant-use system which is suffering a recent decline, although the persistence of some plant-based uses applied simultaneous with modern trends, recently introduced in local culture by present-day media, popular books and middle-aged emigrants returning home, for instance.
