FigC1

Fig. C1. Temporal basal area pattern NMS ordination solution for Huron site. 2D solution – explained 96.6% of the variation in the original data matrix, Stress 9.263, p = 0.004. Axis 1 included as a predictor in multiple regression modeling.


 

FigC2

Fig. C2. Temporal basal area pattern NMS ordination solution for Dukes site. 2D solution – explained 95% of the variation in the original data matrix, Stress 13.385, p = 0.004. Axis 2 included as a predictor in multiple regression modeling.
