Dear Sara,
two interpretations and so two graphical possibilities are available for
AFCVI (see http://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/R/articles/arti112.pdf).
You can see it at the end of the report file of your analysis:
|----------------------------------------------
| files mycca.ivc1
| mycca.ivls
| mycca.ivli
| allow a convenient interpretation
|----------------------------------------------
| files mycca.ivfa
| mycca.ivl1
| mycca.ivco
| allow a convenient interpretation
|----------------------------------------------
The second one (fa - l1 - co):
CCA looks for weights (fa) to obtain linear combination of environmental
variables of unit norm (l1) maximizing the separation of species niche
centroid (co). This is the most usual interpretation of CCA (ter Braak 's
point of view)
Use scatter module on these files (label and arrow).
