Altitude-Driven Variations in Nutritional, Bioactive, and Mineral Profiles of Hawthorn (<i>Crataegus</i> spp.) by Yanyan Liu, Lu Chen, Guohui Shen, Yanting Gu, Yanzhi Guo, Juan Han

“…While primary nutritional components like dietary fiber, protein, and soluble solids exhibited stability across different altitudes, low-altitude samples showed higher levels of hypericin, quercetin, and rutin, likely due to favorable light and temperature conditions. Conversely, high-altitude samples were enriched in calcium, reflecting adaptations to cold stress and structural needs, while phosphorus content was reduced under cooler conditions. …”
