Divergent non-structural carbohydrate allocation strategies in desert shrubs under coal mining-induced environmental gradients in Xinjiang, Northwestern China.
BMC plant biology 20260128 1
BACKGROUND: Large-scale open-pit coal mining can create pronounced environmental gradients around mine sites. These gradients are often accompanied by coal-dust dispersion and elevated heavy-metal loads in surrounding soils, which may alter physiological and ecological processes of vegetation. As a key indicator of plant carbon balance, non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) provide valuable insights into plant adaptive strategies to mining-associated disturbances through their spatial distribution ...[more]
