A Lipophilic extractive groups in the acetone extract over time. The resin acid concentration decreased after two weeks. D Individual resin acid compounds, which all decreased over time except 7-oxodehydroabietic acid. Alpha diversity of the (B) fungal community (class), and (E) bacterial community (phylum) over time, expressed as the Shannon diversity index, with data points from the same week linked by a line for clarity. C Relative abundance of fungal classes and (F) relative abundance of bacterial phyla, over time and derived from two biological replicate experiments. Individual data points are displayed in (A) and (D) with lines showing the means.
