From: The effect of slope aspect on vegetation attributes in a mountainous dry valley, Southwest China
Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) of 42 plots (north-facing slope N = 18, south-facing slope N = 24) based on Bray–Curtis dissimilarity (stress = 0.166). Plots located on different slope aspects were represented by different colors: red (north slope); blue (south slope). Species abbreviation: Quercus baronii (QUBA), Bauhinia brachycarpa (BABR), Desmodium elegans (DEEL), Jasminum humile (JAHU), Spiraea salicifolia (SPSA), Lonicera japonica (LOJA), Cotinus coggygria (COCO), Pertya sinensis (PESI), Berberis sargentiana (BESA), Zanthoxylum simulans (ZASI), Sageretia pycnophylla (SAPY), Caryopteris forrestii (CAFO), Campylotropis_macrocarpa (CAMA), Daphne penicillate (DAPE), Rosa hugonis (ROHU), Spiraea henryi (SPHE), Indigofera amblyantha (INAM), Caryopteris terniflora (CATE), Sophora davidii (SODA), Bauhinia brachycarpa var. microphylla (BABRVAR), Onosma farreri (ONFA), Indigofera bungeana (INBU), Caryopteris bicolor (CABI), Leptodermis purdomii (LEPU), Daphne tangutica (DATA), Lespedeza virgate (LEVI), Ajania nubigena (AJNU), Lespedeza thunbergii (LETH), Lespedeza floribunda (LEFL), Caryopteris glutinosa (CAGL), Krascheninnikovia ceratoides (KRCE), and Daphne modesta (DAMO).
