The Ecological and Applied Potential of Baccharis

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Baccharis

Abstract

The genus Baccharis is composed of ca. 440 species, distributed primarily in South and Central America, many of which are of great ecological, economic, and cultural importance. Baccharis species are mostly dioecious and highly diverse in chemistry, ecology, architecture, and phenology, occupying many different niches and habitats across several gradients of light, temperature, humidity, altitude, and succession. Its species are found in natural, urban, and highly polluted environments. Many species host a large number of associated organisms, including the largest fauna of gall-inducing insects in the Neotropics, and play crucial roles in biodiversity maintenance as foundation species or ecosystem engineers, while others are invasive species with economic implications around the world. Many species are geographically restricted or endemic. Baccharis is also well known for being the source of innumerable chemical compounds widely used in folk medicine and in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. It is one of the most studied genera in the world, owing to these multiple factors that have captured the attention of the scientific community.
