From: Short-term vegetation responses to the first prescribed burn in an urban pine rockland preserve

Correspondence analysis (CA) of relative species frequencies following a prescribed burn within a previously unburned pine rockland fragment in South Florida, USA. Observations occurred 1 week before the prescribed burn (T0), 1 week post-burn (T1), at 4 weeks (T4), and at 14 weeks (T14). Species were scaled to preserve Χ2 distances between survey times. ANOSIM results indicate that the means of ranked dissimilarities between the groups are more different than within the groups (R = 0.22, P < 0.001). The total contribution to inertia was 0.82, and this CA graph displays 79% of the variability. Only species contributing larger than 90% to the inertia are labeled (see Supplementary Table), and they are coded by vegetation type and regional native status in South Florida (Gann et al. 2020). Some random noise was added to species scores to visualize (± 0.07 points) overlapping labels
