The Importance of Landscape Elements for Bat Activity and Species Richness in Agricultural Areas
Fig 3
Ordination of the 50 different sampling plots in an NMDS space based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarity of bat species composition (weighted by the relative intensity of habitat use).
Points represent the placement of plots and asterisks represent the placement of species within multidimensional space. The landscape variables explaining differences in species composition between plots are represented as vectors and were fitted using the function envfit (R-package vegan, [50]). Significantly important landscape variables have solid lines, the others have dashed lines.
