THE FLORA OF HESBAN A Preliminary Report
نویسنده
چکیده
Environmental inquiries constitute an important activity in the cultural ecological analysis of the interrelationship of productive technology and the local environment at HesbAn ( LaBianca 1976 ) . Cumulative and systematic study of the flora at Hesbbn can ultimately reveal information about ( 1) the prevailing soil and climatic conditions; ( 2 ) the nature of the local botanical association and the floral climax; and (3) the kinds of stress that the local human and animal population place on the natural environment-such as that produced by overgrazing, soil depletion, and deforestation. An understanding of the present environment is also crucial for reconstructing the history of the natural environment at HesbAn as well as for assessing its future potential (see for example Zohary 1962 : iii ) . This report of the procedures employed in studying plant specimens, and on the identification and uses of the 34 specimens studied, illustrates the kinds of information yielded by flora studies to date and suggests directions for future research.
