Figure 5

CCA ordination plots. Species abbreviations are presented in Table 1. (a) Species and environmental variables. (b) Samples and environmental variables. Numbers represented sample times, for example, 907 means Jul 2009. The eigenvalues for the first two axes are 0.18 and 0.126. The Monte Carlo permutation test was significant on the first axis (𝐹=3.965, 𝑃=0.002) and on all axes (𝐹=1.885, 𝑃=0.002).
