Population variability of n -alkanes in the cuticular waxes of Serbian spruce needles from Bosnia and Herzegovina was investigated for the first time. n -Alkanes exhibited composition variability ranging from C 18 to C 35. The divergence of populations from Bosnia and Herzegovina and previously investigated Serbian populations was statistically confirmed by PCA , DA, and CA (Cluster analysis), which could support the fact that there are two possible spruce chemotypes: one relating to the Bosnian-Herzegovinian and the other to the Serbian populations. Climate parameters (precipitation, temperature, wind, and solar radiation) approved this conclusion. [Display omitted] • n -Alkanes of Serbian spruce from Bosnia and Herzegovina were investigated for the first time. • Among them, C 29 , C 23 , C 27 , and C 25 were the most abundant. • PCA and especially DA showed the greatest distance of population Viogor. • There are two possible chemotypes: Bosnian-Herzegovinian and Serbian populations. • Precipitation, temperature, wind, and solar radiation approved this conclusion.
