Data represent median values (mg g–1) for various compound types, including alkanes, alkenes, alkadienes, and aromatic compounds.
Values are expressed as median values.
Different superscript letters indicate statistically significant differences among species groups (p < 0.05, Kruskal-Wallis test followed by hierarchical clustering).
GC/MS: gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.
