Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation The survey recorded 103 tree species in 243 homegardens.
- Observation Native species represented more than half the species diversity but lagged in population share, frequency distribution and regeneration potential.
- Observation Bauhinia variegata and Alnus nepalensis together made up the bulk of the native population.
- Observation Only a handful of native species had a decent frequency of presence in homegardens.
- Observation Most native species grew naturally in unmanaged homegardens.
- Observation All native species had very poor regeneration potential, including B. variegata.
- Observation Only 7 of 76 native species could be regarded as domesticated through Mishmi indigenous knowledge.
- Mechanism Most native wild species occur through spontaneous germination allowed by poor homegarden management rather than deliberate planting.
