Ethnomedicinal value of karst paddy weeds: insights from Zhuang communities in Jingxi, China
This study is the first to systematically reveal that paddy field weeds in Jingxi are an underdeveloped treasure trove of ethnic medicinal resources. The strategy of "utilization-based prevention, control, and conservation" not only provides a scientific basis for the sustainable management of weeds but also offers crucial support for supplementing medicinal resources, protecting biocultural diversity, and preserving traditional ecological knowledge.
