CCA analysis of mite community species composition. A Scores for samples (each point represents the community from litterbags per plot per date) and species which occurred at least 10 times (names shown for each species are first four letters of the genus and first four letters of the species). B Shifts of mite species composition averaged per each litter species and study date, represented by points connected by the lines from April (left) to October (right). Constraining environmental variables are marked by black arrows and labels. Abbreviations of the environmental variables are explained in Table 2
