This function is intended to provide a quick visualization of sites containing a taxa of interest. It is intended to be used in assessing whether taxa can be combined. For example, an ordination showing strong overlap in vegetative communities between sites with "Arenaria" and "Arenaria kingii" might suggest that these two taxa can be combined.

Usage

nmds_taxa(veg_df, taxa, reference_taxa = NULL, spp.scr.thrshld = 0.01)

Arguments

veg_df

properly formatted vegetation dataframe

taxa

taxa of interested (e.g., "Arenaria")

reference_taxa

additional taxa used to compare spread in ordination space

spp.scr.thrshld

p-value threshold for species scores being displayed

Value

an ordination of plots in species space of all plots that contain the taxa of interest
