*GEOGRAPHY AND ETHNOBOTANY OF CHESTNUT LIVELIHOOD PRACTICES IN TURKEY*


**

In Turkey, the genetic diversity of the European chestnut (Castanea 
sativa) and the millennia old livelihood practices which maintain it are 
being compromised by chestnut blight and other exotic pest outbreaks.  
To be presented is an overview of an extensive catalogue of 
geographically specific cultural practices along with correlated blight 
severity measurements that our research team observed in participatory 
exercises with 96 households in ten sites across Turkey’s Black Sea, 
Marmara and Aegean Regions. Comparing results between sites and 
households illustrates the degree to which cultural factors may be 
affecting the severity of chestnut blight and maintaining genetic diversity.
