Unveiling the ecological significance of pterospermum species
Keywords:
megastigmane glycosides, antioxidant compounds, soil erosion resistanceAbstract
The genus Pterospermum with about 75 species of trees and shrubs distributed in tropical and subtropical regions plays an important ecological role in biodiversity This article a this summary examines the ecological significance of Pterospermum by highlighting its contribution to biodiversity, habitat stability, carbon sequestration, and livelihoods -economic aspects Pterospermum species are an important component of forest ecosystems, habitats, food sources for many species In addition to providing f, and thus increasing biodiversity, their extensive root systems contribute prevent soil erosion and stabilize the river, contributing to ecosystem resilience. In addition, Pterospermum play an important role in mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and storing carbon in their biomass in addition to biological functions, Pterospermum have cultural and economic importance, providing trees, medicines, and other resources for local communities.
