Figure 3
Canonical correspondence analysis bi-plot of the abundance of mite species and environmental factors. Length and direction of arrows indicate the relative importance and direction of change in the environmental variables. Variables are: Alt- altitude, pH – soil acidity, Rh-soil humidity, T – soil temperature, Veg. cov. – percent of vegetation cover (for two categories of height: from 1–5 metres and from 0–1 metre). Species names were abbreviated using the initials of the order and species name (abbreviations are explained in Table 5).
