Previously undescribed compounds, (R)-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-butanol 2-O-(6-O-galloyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside (1) and (E)-5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)pent-2-enoic acid (2), together with 20 known compounds (3-22) were isolated from the aerial parts of Calligonum mongolicum. Compound 3 was obtained a natural source for first time, all (1-22) reported time in this plant. The structural elucidation 1 2 perform...

Abstract. Purpose. The study is aimed at carrying out an adaptation assessment of arid fodder shrubs for the restoration degraded pasture ecosystems in semi-desert zone southern Russia modern conditions climate aridization. Methods. An given adaptive capabilities, including field germination seeds, response to drought, yield leafless Calligonum aphyllum, Eurotia ceratoides, and Kochia prostrata...

Calligonum mongolicum is a successful pioneer shrub to combat desertification, which is widely used for vegetation restoration in the desert regions of northwest China. In order to reveal the limitations to natural regeneration of C. mongolicum by asexual and sexual reproduction, following the process of sand dune stabilization, we assessed clonal shoots, seedling emergence, soil seed bank dens...
