  • Economic Value: A Comprehensive Resource Treasure Trove

    Seed Kernels: The oil extracted from *Acer truncatum* (Shantung maple) kernels via low-temperature cold pressing and scientific extraction is rich in nervonic acid (5–7% content) and contains up to 53% linoleic and linolenic acids; the total unsaturated fatty acid content exceeds 90%. Additionally, it contains 13 minerals, 7 trace elements, and the 8 essential amino acids required by the human body.
    Leaves: The leaves are rich in various active ingredients, including flavonoids, chlorogenic acid, cardiac glycosides, and SOD.
    Flowers: The flowers primarily contain fructose, amino acids, and polyphenols; they also serve as a high-quality nectar source during the early flowering season.
    Fruit Shells and Seed Coats: These contain condensed tannins. The bark contains 98 types of active substances.
    Ecological Value: A Practitioner of Green Development
    Superior Tree Species: Cold-resistant, drought-tolerant, and capable of thriving in poor soil; highly adaptable, making it an excellent choice for ecological restoration and landscaping.
    Carbon Sequestration Expert: As a deciduous tree, it possesses strong carbon sequestration capabilities; a mature tree absorbs 12–15 kg of carbon, contributing to "Dual Carbon" goals. It reduces soil erosion and surface runoff by 40%, and purifies water quality through a root system that efficiently absorbs nitrogen and phosphorus, thereby mitigating agricultural non-point source pollution.
    Natural Oxygen Bar: Yuanbao Maple forests absorb large amounts of CO2 and release 5,000 negative oxygen ions per cubic centimeter.
