Fig. 4 in Effects of Greenfall on Ground-dwelling Arthropods in a Subtropical Forest

Fig. 4. NMDS biplot of arthropod communities in response to Typhoon Soulik. (a) Control plots, (b) Greenfall plots. The number '0' denotes a plot before Typhoon Soulik (24 June-7 July) and '1' a plot after Typhoon Soulik (7 July-24 July). The unfilled and filled convex polygons denote the 'before-Soulik' and 'after-Soulik' periods respectively. Although the NMDS was performed on all 40 sample units (20 plots × two time periods), the biplot is drawn for the control and greenfall plots separately to enhance visual clarity. The scale and range of the axes are comparable between the control and green plots.
