Notes: No. fields/no. plots is a measure of the sampling effort in each village. Field area is the average size of a field in hectares. Morpho-species and total species are estimates of the cumulative richness, following either folk or scientific taxonomy. No. spp./ha represents the average number of species encountered in one hectare and was calculated by dividing the species number in a given field by the surface of that field. Mean no. spp./field represents the average number of species encountered in one field (and 1 SD).
