Ethelochory
As Ethelochorie refers to the deliberate introduction of plants, either by seed or seedlings in a new habitat by humans. The ethelochory is, together with the agochory and the speirochory, a sub-form of the hemerochory .
Numerous cultivated plants, which today play an essential role in human nutrition, have been purposefully spread by humans ethelochor. Wheat , barley , lentils , spelled , broad beans , flax and poppy seeds , for example, are not typical of the Central European region, even though they are all archaeophytes . They were gradually brought by humans from the Far Eastern Mediterranean to Central Europe after the beginning of the Neolithic Age around 6,500 years ago when the first arable farmers began to settle in the Central European area.
Plants brought in in the Polynesian area are called canoe plants.
The conscious introduction of alien plants into nature by humans with the aim of enriching the flora, i.e. without wanting to use them specifically as useful or ornamental plants, is called anointing .
