Agriophyllum squarrosum, also known as “sand rice,” is a drought-tolerant and saline-tolerant psammophyte. As a pioneer plant on the quicksand, A. squarrosum is widespread on sandy surfaces in northern China and is well-adapted to climate change. In addition, A. squarrosum is known to be one of the herbage resources for camels, goats and sheep in desert areas of China. However, the nutritional and feeding value of A. squarrosum is still unknown.
