  This study examined the ecological footprints of prioritised medicinal plants (MPs) in some selected land use types (woodlot, farm-fallow and fadama) of Sokoto state, Nigeria. Data for this research were collected using focus group discussion. Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was carried out with the key members of traditional medicine practitioners (TMP) to prioritise medicinal plants in the study site. The matrix box was used for ranking of MPs. Stratified random sampling was used for the medicinal plants assessment in Fadama land, farmfallow and woodlot area in Sokoto Metropolis. The three (3) land use types were purposively selected. Sampling intensity of 2% of the total land area covered by Fadama land, farm-fallow and woodlot was used. Ecological footprints of MPs were calculated using the data obtained from the land use types. Data obtained were analysed descriptively using tables,.. Read More»
