Chlorophyll, proline, soluble sugar, malondialdehyde (MDA), peroxidase (POD), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were quantified. Treatment effects were evaluated using two-way ANOVA, PCA of standardized variables, disturbance-specific Spearman correlations, and an exploratory path analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Disturbance type, relative disturbance level, and their interaction affected all six physiological traits, and PCA separated the two-treatment series in multivariate space. Under sand burial, chlorophyll, proline, and soluble sugar showed positive within-treatment covariation after Spearman correlations. Under simulated wind erosion, POD and SOD covaried positively, whereas MDA was not significantly correlated with either antioxidant enzyme; chlorophyll\u2013proline and soluble sugar\u2013MDA associations also remained significant after correction. The exploratory path model had limited overall fit and was used only to summarize statistical associations, not to establish causal physiological mechanisms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Under the controlled conditions of this seedling experiment, the two isolated treatments were associated with different physiological response and covariation patterns.
