From single species to multiethnic ethnobotanical databases to understand past land use Odonne G. auteur aut IRD Davy D. auteur aut IRD Grenand Pierre auteur aut IRD text bookSection eng text/pdf reformatted digital access In this chapter, we propose a methodology in historical ethnoecology based on our collaborative experience with Amerindians from French Guiana. We assume that Native Americans still have an intimate practice of nature and a deep knowledge of their culture that can provide us with integrative elements for understanding ancient historical landscapes. Their knowledge of plant species indicative of anthropisation, as well as their pedological, agronomic or historical knowledge, collected at different scales make it possible to reconstruct the history of landscapes in a complementary way. specialized AMAZONIE 112 082 Methods in historical ecology : insights from Amazonia Odonne G. ed. edt IRD Molino Jean-François ed. edt IRD 146-152 New York Routledge 2021 New Frontiers in Historical Ecology https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010081773 978-0-367-18221-2 [F A010081241] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010081773 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/2025-07/010081773.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2021-04-21 2025-07-30 fdi:010081773 fre
