Figure 1

The CCA ordination of 27 plots and environmental variables. Arrows indicate the environmental variables (Ele, elevation; Asp, aspect; Slo, slope; Pos, slope position; BA, basal area; Cov, canopy cover; Den, tree density). Plots dominated by P. crassifolia and S. przewalskii are represented by circles ( ) and squares ( ), respectively.
