Small evergreen shrubs of the family Fabaceae represent a large proportion of current Mediterranean mountain vegetation. Their low pastoral value and tendency for encroachment makes these plants undesirable. In this paper, the thermal and chemical characteristics of , a thorny cushion-shaped dwarf shrub native to the French Central Massif and the Pyrenees (particularly dominant in the shrublands of the Pyrenees), have been analyzed with a view to its valorization. Although the higher and lower heating values of the biomass from met the ISO 17225-2:2014 requirements for its use in pellets, the ash content was slightly above the upper limit, so it would not comply with the normative for its acceptable use as a fuel. Nevertheless, the presence of high added-value flavonoids and lignans in its extracts, which are receiving increasing recent interest as efficient anti-tumor drugs and antivirals, may open the door to the valorization of this shrub for pharmacological applications.
豆科的小型常绿灌木在当前地中海山区植被中占很大比例。它们的牧草价值低且有侵占趋势，使得这些植物不受欢迎。在本文中，对一种原产于法国中央高原和比利牛斯山脉（在比利牛斯山脉的灌木丛中尤为占主导地位）的多刺垫状矮灌木进行了热学和化学特性分析，以期对其进行增值利用。尽管该灌木生物质的高位发热量和低位发热量符合ISO 17225-2:2014对其用于颗粒燃料的要求，但其灰分含量略高于上限，因此不符合作为燃料可接受使用的规范。然而，其提取物中存在高附加值的黄酮类化合物和木脂素，作为高效抗肿瘤药物和抗病毒药物，它们最近受到越来越多的关注，这可能为该灌木在药理学应用中的增值利用打开大门。
