Dear authors,
referees acknowledge the work developed to improve the manuscript taking into account their considerations. However, there are some minor comments you should to take into consideration, as you can see in the report num 1. In addition, there is one aspect you should better clarify. On referee indicated that the title is unsuitable due to the chapter is not about "plant-derived lipid molecular proxies" (which includes a plethora of cylic biomarkers, not indicated or described), while the chapter focused mainly on alkyl series, and suggested you to change the title of the manuscript accordingly to avoid misleadings. Could you please justify this?

Kind regards
