  1. MAR represents the annual rainfall, MAT represents the mean annual temperature, LOY leaf oil yield, TBC the total number of biochemical compounds, and MBC the number of major biochemical compounds
  2. The number of major biochemical compounds included in any compound with more than 15% relative abundance in the GCMS data. “**” and “*” indicate correlations at the 0.01 and 0.05 levels, respectively
