Neal E. Flanagan, Curtis J. Richardson, and Mengchi Ho. 2015. Connecting differential responses of native and invasive riparian plants to climate change and environmental alteration. Ecological Applications 25:753–767. http://dx.doi.org/10.1890/14-0767.1

Appendix B. Tables and a figure showing (1) summary statistics for the partial redundancy analysis, (2) results from the ANOSIM test, and (3) regression results.

Table B1. Summary statistics for the first four axes of the partial redundancy analysis (RDA) of plant community and environmental variables with Hellinger transformed plant species data and partialling out of spatial trends. The environmental variables were selected in a stepwise forward selection produced from a global partial RDA model conditioned for spatial variables. POWER: rate of flood rise, SGDD: soil growing degree days, Ag: cultivated proportion of watershed, FREQ: flood frequency, AREA: watershed area, DUR: mean flood duration, Sand: soil texture sand (%), CTP: soil total phosphorus (See Table 1).
