Essential Oils of <i>Artemisia frigida</i> Plants (Asteraceae): Conservatism and Lability of the Composition
Plants of arid regions have adapted to harsh environments during the long span of their evolution and have developed a set of features necessary for their survival in water-limited conditions. <i>Artemisia frigida</i> Willd. (Asteraceae) is a widely distributed species possessing signifi...

| description | Plants of arid regions have adapted to harsh environments during the long span of their evolution and have developed a set of features necessary for their survival in water-limited conditions. <i>Artemisia frigida</i> Willd. (Asteraceae) is a widely distributed species possessing significant cenotic value in steppe ecosystems due to its high frequency and abundance. This study examines different patterns of formation of essential oil composition in <i>A. frigida</i> plants under the influence of heterogeneous factors, including climate and its integral characteristics (HTC, C<sub>extr</sub>, SPEI and others). The work is based on the results of our research conducted in Russia (Republic of Buryatia, Irkutsk region), Mongolia, and China, from 1998 to 2021. A total of 32 constant compounds have been identified in the essential oil of <i>A. frigida</i> throughout its habitat range in Eurasia, from Kazakhstan to Qinghai Province, China. Among them, camphor, 1,8-cineol and bornyl acetate are the dominant components, contained in 93–95% of the samples. Among the sesquiterpenoids, germacrene D is the dominant component in 67% of the samples. The largest variability within the composition of the essential oils of <i>A. frigida</i> is associated with significant differences in the climatic parameters when plants grow in high-altitude and extrazonal conditions. |
