| Characterization of land types Summary The flora of Khe Tran exhibits high species richness, and although our sampling was not exhaustive, it is sufficiently rigorous to address the value and relative richness of remaining natural forests as well as other land types. It also shows that the potentially monotonous land types, such as plantations or rice fields, are still very high in non-tree diversity in Khe Tran, which enables and maintains their multiuse function. According to this survey, the people of Khe Tran represent no imminent threat for recorded endangered species. We recommend that information on threatened species be given to villagers to raise the awareness of conservation needs and that the specific uses of especially threatened species be discussed in order to give people the option to choose other species for these uses. It seems likely that the range of threats from cutting of construction material and collection of firewood and material for basketry may have contributed to the status of plant species in the past, but the impact at present is difficult to assess. Direct impact on forest cover or composition as a whole is impossible to quantify based on our sampling. Therefore further research on sustainability of NTFP collection is required. Most of the natural vegetation is disturbed forest or shrub lands and the impacts of floods and fires continue to influence forest cover and structure. The most substantive influence on remaining forests may be the way of planning and measure of recognising the outside effect on land types. During the fieldwork we saw many people coming from elsewhere to collect NTFPs and some marks of illegal logging conducted by people from outside the area.
. Ethno-botanical knowledge 8.1. Plant uses We categorized all the uses of plants recorded in the field according to the categories used in the PDM exercise (Table 7, Chapter 6). In addition a category of ‘miscellaneous’ was created for 15 species that were outside the most common use categories. In the miscellaneous group we find: fertilizer, support stalk for growth of pepper, fabric dye, shampoo, charcoal to blacken teeth, incense and furniture polish. Similarly to the results from the PDM exercises, no plant was recorded for the future and hunting place categories. The result of herbarium identification shows that 71% species gathered are useful species from 81 families and 164 genus (Table 24). Annex 3 provides local uses information of collected plants with their botanical names, families and local names. Table 24.
