Fig. 3 in Effects of Greenfall on Ground-dwelling Arthropods in a Subtropical Forest

Fig. 3. NMDS biplot of arthropod communities in response to greenfall addition. (a) Pre-treatment, 12 May-7 July, (b) Post-treatment time period #1, 24 July-10 October, (c) Posttreatment time period #2, 10 October-27 December. The letter 'C' denotes a control plot and 'G' a greenfall plot. The unfilled and filled convex polygons denote the control and greenfall plots, respectively. Although the NMDS was performed on all 60 sample units (20 plots × three time periods), the biplot is drawn for each time period to enhance visual clarity. The scale and range of the axes are comparable across the three time periods.
