Hello R experts, I've used metaMDS to run NMDS on some fish abundance data, and am also working on correlating environmental data to the NMDS coordinates. I'm fairly new to metaMDS and NMDS in general, so I have what are probably some very basic questions. My fish abundance data consists of 66 sites for which up to 20 species of fish were identified and counted. I ran metaMDS on this data

Hi R-experts, I am using the envfit function over an ordination of floristic data. The problem is that every time that I run it changes the results. Sometimes dramatically, selecting variables that the first time were not significant. I do not get what could be the problem or if is normal given the permutations are different. # the NMDS ordination gap_flor_NMDS_chord <- metaMDS(gaps_flor,

Hello there, I'm trying to plot vectors with p<0.1 in a NMDS ordination plot using p.max. Below the scripts I'm using. I guess I'm missing something! could you please give me a hand? species<-metaMDS(species_matrix)ef<-envfit(species,environmentaldata_file,permu=999,na.rm=TRUE)efplot(species, dis="sites")plot(ef,p.max=0.1) Error in plot.envfit(ef, p.max = 0.1) :

Dear all, I did a RDA and when I looked to the signification of the test with permutest, the output was non-significant. But when I used the envfit function, some of the vectors are significant. All the test's conditions are respected. What it means? Is it an error in the script? Commands and output: > permutest(rda.ind, perm=999, first=TRUE) Permutation test for rda  Call:

Dear r-helpers! Jan Thiele asked r-help-list in february, but I could not find an answer to his question. I have the same problem: While preparing figures of 'envfit' plots with vegan for publication, I ran into a layout problem, that I found no solution for in the literature or the help archive: The labels of the vectors that indicate correlations of environental variables sometimes

I'm pretty new to R and would appreciate some help interpreting the output of a function that was recommended to me. I've used the *envfit *function in the vegan package to plot vectors of four climate variables onto a species matrix ordination. The output indicates that only a single variable (mean_temp) is significant: ***VECTORS NMDS1 NMDS2 r2

I'm getting lots of grief from reviewers about figures generated with the envfit function in the Vegan package. Has anyone else struggled to effectively explain this analysis? If so, can you share any helpful tips? The most recent comment I've gotten back: "What this shows is which NMDS axis separates the communities, not the relationship between the edaphic factor and the

Dear vegan team, Vegan development happens now completely in github. R-Forge repository is no more in sync with github. I tried to commit all github changes to R-Forge, but a week ago I got a conflict in file and I haven't had time to resolve that conflict. You can follow vegan development and vegan discussion also without signing to github. The system seems to be completely open and does not

Dear R folks While preparing figures of 'envfit' plots with vegan for publication, I ran into a layout problem, that I found no solution for in the literature or the help archive: The labels of the vectors that indicate correlations of environental variables sometimes overlap with each other or with other content of the figure. Hence, I would like to rearrange them. Is there a

Hello, I am using vegan to do an NMDS plot and I would like to suppress the labels for the loading vectors. Is this possible? Alternatively, how can I avoid overlap? Many thanks for the help. Example code: #perform NMDS using metaMDS() function spe.nmds<-metaMDS(data, distance='bray',k=2 , engine = "isoMDS", autotransform=F, trymax=1000) #calculate the loading (i.e.,

Hi all, I have site data with plant species cover and am looking for trends. I'm kind of new to this, but have done lots of reading and can't find an answer. I tried decorana (I know it's been replaced by ca.) and see a trend, but I'm not sure what it means. Is there a way to get the loadings/eigenvectors of the axes (like in PCA)? Is there a way to do this with rda() too? How

Hi Im currently trying to plot my NMDS data together with fitted variables (envfit funct) on an ordination plot. The plot function shows two displays="sites" and "sp". I was wondering how to plot it so that the sites come up as different points for different sites but the species come up as actual names? It looks a little busy at the moment with everything in.

Dear r-Community, Step1: I would like to calculate a NMDS (package vegan, function metaMDS) with species data. Step2: Then I want to plot environmental variables over it, using function envfit. The Problem: One of these environmental variables is cos(EXPOSURE). But for flat releves there is no exposure. The value is missing and I can't call it 0 as 0 stands for east and west. Therefore I

Hi, I want to include a vector representing the sites - environmental data correlation in a PCA. I currently use prcomp (no scaling) to perform the PCA, and envfit to retrieve the coordinates of the environmental data vector. However, the vector length is different from the one obtained in CAnoco when performing a species - environmental biplot (scaling -2). How can I scale the vector in order to

Hi All, Can anyone point me a hint (package) how to draw a 3D plot using the first 3 components from PCA? Thanks a lot, FD [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear r-helpers, I just read in an article by Virtanen et al. (2006) where vegetation-environment relationships are studied by fitting smoothed surfaces on an NMDS ordination using GAMs (Wood 2000). The authors describe, that they used R? as goodness-of-fit statistic, which they compare to the R? of fitted vectors. Calculations were carried out using the package vegan (Oksanen). I know that I can

Hi, I have been trying to create a function to generate a Procrustes plot, generated from package "vegan" in lattice. standard vegan code as follows library(vegan) pro=protest(P1, P8, permutations=4999,choices=1:4) plot(pro) Now, here is the code for the function that I have failed to get to work properly. panel.procrustes=function(x,y) }Pro=protest(x,y,permutations=4999,choices=1:4)

Hi Im using the VEGAN package to do an RDA ordination. In my plot I get my environmental scores as arrows/vectors, but my species scores as points. I would like to get the species scores as arrows as well. I tried the envfit function, and this creates arrows, but the lenght is not proportionate to the strengh of the correlation and the point is still there (so I both have point and arrow). fit

Hi Guys, First, English is not my native language so sorry if the question is too difficult to understand. I can rephrase it if necessary. I have 32-bit Windows Xp SP3, i use R version 2.12.0 (2010-10-15), and the question is about Redundancy canonical analysis? plot problem in 3D using VEGAN, RGL, SCATTERPLOT3D and SFSMISC. I noticed the following? code to explain as clearly as possible the
