Subject: Intepreting a plot from a "constrained" NMDS
Dear list members,
Is there any reference or document on how to interpret a "constrained"
non-metrical multidimensional scaling using ecological data? By
"constrained" I mean after fitting environmental covariables, using, for
example, the "envfit" function in the vegan package. Is it possible to
interpret the resulting plot in the same way that a constrained
ordination, for example CCA?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best,
Manuel
