 Taxonomy
We classify the collected plants according their phenotypic
traits. For this, we use standard botanical procedures (keys
of determination) and try to update our results according
to the most recent botanical nomenclature. [more] |

 Ethnobotany
The traditional knowledge of indigenous people
disappears. The project intends to document the remaining
traditional knowledge, to contribute scientific aspects such
as taxonomy and chemistry, and dispose it for the use of
current and future generations. [more] |

 Phytochemical
documentation
We wish to identify the chemicals in the plant that are
known to have specific pharmacological and biological activities.
These chemicals give us the first hints that explain the
plant’s mechanisms and help to separate plants used
in medico-magical contexts from those used in purely medicinal
contexts. [more] |

 Phytosociology
The evergreen tropical lowland rainforest
shows not only a high species diversity but also a high diversity
of plant communities. We identify plant communities and study
their characteristics, relationships and distribution from
plot- to landscape-level. [more] |

 Phenology
Monitoring of regenerative and reproductive features of
plants across the year, in order to obtain their characteristic
cycles as well as their responses to seasonal and climatic
changes. [more] |
