Fig. 3From: Spruce (Picea abies L.) planting leads post-clearcut bird assemblages to a novel successional pathway—a comparative study in hemiboreal mixed forestsNMS ordination graphs of bird communities in all 40 sites (a), and for the subset of 30 sites with tree cover (b). Each symbol refers to one 5-ha site. Two most informative axes (% variance explained indicated) of three-dimensional solutions are shown. Environmental gradients are depicted as arrows proportional in length to their co-variation with the axes (those with r2 > 0.1 shown). DDW, volume of downed dead woodBack to article page
