A large proportion of its 17 million inhabitants lives in rural communities and strongly depends on local plant products for their livelihood. However, literature on traditional plant use is still scarce and a comprehensive analysis for the country is still missing. In this study we combine the information of a recently published plant checklist with information from ethnobotanical literature for a comprehensive, national scale analysis of plant use in Burkina Faso. We quantify the application of plant species in 10 different use categories, evaluate plant use on a plant family level and use the relative importance index to rank all species in the country according to their usefulness. We focus on traditional medicine and quantify the use of plants as remedy against 22 classes of \u2026<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 class=\"sub-title\">Mots-cl\u00e9s<\/h2>\n<p>Ethnobotany, Medicinal plants, Traditional medicine, Economic botany, Usefulness, Relative importance index, West Africa<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ann\u00e9e\u00a0: 2015 Revue\u00a0: Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine\u00a0, 11 (9) :\u00a01-10 Discipline :\u00a0Autres Auteur(s) :\u00a0Alexander Zizka, Adjima Thiombiano, Stefan Dressler, Blandine MI Nacoulma, Amad\u00e9 Ou\u00e9draogo, Issaka Ou\u00e9draogo, Oumarou Ou\u00e9draogo, Georg Zizka, Karen Hahn, Marco Schmidt Auteur(s) tagu\u00e9s :\u00a0NACOULMA Blandine Marie Ivette\u00a0OUEDRAOGO Amad\u00e9\u00a0OUEDRAOGO Oumarou\u00a0THIOMBIANO Adjima R\u00e9sum\u00e9 The West African country of Burkina Faso (BFA) is an [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":46,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[50,76,45,74,78,73,75,79,39,77],"class_list":["post-927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles-scientifiques","tag-adjima-thiombiano","tag-alexander-zizka","tag-amade-ouedraogo","tag-blandine-marie-ivette-nacoulma","tag-georg-zizka","tag-issaka-ouedraogo","tag-karen-hahn","tag-marco-schmidt","tag-oumarou-ouedraogo","tag-stefan-dressler"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gril-ujkz.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gril-ujkz.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gril-ujkz.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gril-ujkz.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/46"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gril-ujkz.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=927"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.gril-ujkz.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/927\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":928,"href":"https:\/\/www.gril-ujkz.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/927\/revisions\/928"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gril-ujkz.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gril-ujkz.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gril-ujkz.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
