APPENDIX H 



DETRENDED CANONOCAL CORRESPONDENCE ANALYSIS DIAGRAMS 



Plot scores (•) for first and second axes of DCCA ordina- 

 tions of all 125 plots, 16 forest plots, 53 shrubland plots, and 

 55 grassland plots. The first axis is the horizontal axis and 

 the second axis is the vertical axis. Numbers in diagrams indi- 

 cate multiple plots at that ordination position. Centroids of 

 categorical environmental variables are indicated by "x". Vec- 

 tors indicate the direction of maximum change for a quantitative 

 environmental variable and the length indicates the strength of 

 their correlation with the ordination axes. Only the ten envi- 

 ronmental variables (of the 4 6 available) having the strongest 

 correlation with the axes are shown. See Table 1 for a list and 

 abbreviations of the environmental variables.
