Abstract

The Caatinga, an exclusively Brazilian biome, stands as a reservoir of remarkable biodiversity. Its significance transcends ecological dimensions, given the direct reliance of the local population on its resources for sustenance and healthcare. While Myrtaceae, a pivotal botanical family within the Brazilian flora, has been extensively explored for its medicinal and nutritional attributes, scant attention has been directed towards its contextual relevance within the Caatinga's local communities. Consequently, this inaugural systematic review addresses the ethnobotanical roles of Myrtaceae within the Caatinga, meticulously anchored in the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. We searched Scopus, MEDLINE/Pubmed, Scielo, and LILIACS. No date-range filter was applied. An initial pool of 203 articles was carefully scrutinized, ultimately yielding 31 pertinent ethnobotanical studies elucidating the utility of Myrtaceae amongst the Caatinga's indigenous populations. Collectively, they revealed seven distinct utilization categories spanning ~54 species and 11 genera. Psidium and Eugenia were the genera with the most applications. The most cited categories of use were food (27 species) and medicinal (22 species). The importance of accurate species identification was highlighted, as many studies did not provide enough information for reliable identification. Additionally, the potential contribution of Myrtaceae fruits to food security and human health was explored. The diversity of uses demonstrates how this family is a valuable resource for local communities, providing sources of food, medicine, energy, and construction materials. This systematic review also highlights the need for more ethnobotanical studies to understand fully the relevance of Myrtaceae species in the Caatinga, promoting biodiversity conservation, as well as support for local populations.

卡廷加的生物文化遗产:对桃金娘科植物及其多种用途的系统研究
卡廷加为巴西独有的生物群落,拥有丰富的生物多样性。它的意义超越了生态层面,因为当地居民直接依赖其资源来维持生计和保健。桃金娘科是巴西植物区系中的一个重要植物科,其药用和营养价值已被广泛探究,但对其在卡廷加当地社区的背景相关性却关注甚少。因此,这篇首篇系统性综述以 PRISMA 2020 指南为基础,探讨了桃金娘科植物在卡廷加地区的人种植物学作用。我们检索了 Scopus、MEDLINE/Pubmed、Scielo 和 LILIACS。未使用日期范围过滤器。我们仔细审查了最初的 203 篇文章,最终获得了 31 项相关的人种植物学研究,这些研究阐明了桃金娘科植物在卡廷加土著居民中的用途。这些研究共揭示了七个不同的利用类别,涉及约 54 个物种和 11 个属。桃金娘属和酢浆草属的应用最多。引用最多的用途类别是食用(27 种)和药用(22 种)。准确识别物种的重要性得到了强调,因为许多研究没有提供足够的信息来进行可靠的识别。此外,还探讨了桃金娘科水果对粮食安全和人类健康的潜在贡献。桃金娘科植物用途的多样性表明,该科植物是当地社区的宝贵资源,可提供食物、药物、能源和建筑材料。本系统综述还强调,需要进行更多的人种植物学研究,以充分了解桃金娘科物种在卡廷加地区的相关性,促进生物多样性保护,并为当地居民提供支持。

期刊介绍: Biological Reviews is a scientific journal that covers a wide range of topics in the biological sciences. It publishes several review articles per issue, which are aimed at both non-specialist biologists and researchers in the field. The articles are scholarly and include extensive bibliographies. Authors are instructed to be aware of the diverse readership and write their articles accordingly. The reviews in Biological Reviews serve as comprehensive introductions to specific fields, presenting the current state of the art and highlighting gaps in knowledge. Each article can be up to 20,000 words long and includes an abstract, a thorough introduction, and a statement of conclusions. The journal focuses on publishing synthetic reviews, which are based on existing literature and address important biological questions. These reviews are interesting to a broad readership and are timely, often related to fast-moving fields or new discoveries. A key aspect of a synthetic review is that it goes beyond simply compiling information and instead analyzes the collected data to create a new theoretical or conceptual framework that can significantly impact the field. Biological Reviews is abstracted and indexed in various databases, including Abstracts on Hygiene & Communicable Diseases, Academic Search, AgBiotech News & Information, AgBiotechNet, AGRICOLA Database, GeoRef, Global Health, SCOPUS, Weed Abstracts, and Reaction Citation Index, among others.
