### GC-MS Profiling of the Supercritical CO\({}_{2}\) Extract
These compounds are prevalent across various plant taxa, such as Annonaceae, Asteraceae, and Lamiaceae, exhibiting significant pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antimicrobial activities. They are particularly important in bryophytes such as liverworks, where ongoing research has led to the discovery of novel derivatives that are being pursued for their bioactive potential [43; 44]. Kaurane diterpenes, with their unique structural features, exhibit diverse bioactivities and play significant roles in the ecological narratives of both mosses and fungi. In mosses, they contribute to defense mechanisms and adaptive responses, while in fungi, they act as defenders and potential influencers of ecological relationships. These compounds are thought to fortify the resilience of mosses against herbivores or pathogens. Additionally, their potential involvement in adaptive responses to environmental conditions, such as light, temperature, and moisture fluctuations, adds complexity to their putative functions. The alleged properties of Kaurane diterpenes suggest a role in safeguarding mosses against microbial threats, contributing to the overall ecological fitness of these bryophytes. \begin{table}

Table 1: _Cont._In fungi, Kaurane diterpenes were conceived as chemical defenses against competing microorganisms; these compounds contribute to the ecological niche protection of fungi. Beyond defense, the participation of Kaurane diterpenes in mutualistic associations with plants introduces the intriguing prospect of influencing host-fungus relationships and broader ecological dynamics.
