Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss a number of steps that are relevant to the planning and execution of an ethnobotanical study of the domestic use of timber. We introduce the main methods used in this type of study, including their applications and limitations, allowing the reader to identify the techniques that should be implemented in your studies.
