The Influences of Canopy Species and Topographic Variables on Understory Species Diversity and Composition in Coniferous Forests
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.
