QUESTION
I try to use a script to plot NMDS that worked perfectly before...but I changed of R version (R 4.1.2 on Ubuntu 20.04) and I cannot get anymore NMDS coloured graphs.
I get this error "species scores not available"
I get the good NMDS representation, but I cannot get it colored according "TypeV" -see below code - (I got it before)

QUESTION
There seems to be quite a bit of information for plotting NMDS outputs (i.e. NMDS1 vs NMDS1) using ggplot2
however I cannot find a way to plot the vegan::stressplot()
(shepard's plot) using ggplot2
.
Is there a way to produce a ggplot2
version of a metaMDS
output?
Reproducible code

Answered 2021-Sep-17 at 03:41Here's a workaround to plot a very similar plot using ggplot2
.The trick was to get the structure of the stressplot(example_NMDS)
and extract the data stored in that object. I used the tidyverse
package that includes ggplot
and other packages such as tidyr
that contains the pivot_longer
function.
QUESTION
i find this example online because I need to plot the points of the nmds with the size of species relative abundance, similar as it is done here with richness. My question is: How can I plot the size of the points of more variables in one plot? for example: size of sp1, sp2, sp3 Thanks a lot!
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jul-28 at 18:46I'm not super clear on your question, but I think what you are asking is how you can plot the sizes of the different species as well as the richness. I'll give an answer to that.
By the way, you can read in the data much easier using data.table::fread

QUESTION
What is the difference among the vectors (fit$vectors) obtained from envfit function of vegan (R package) and extract it using (scores function):
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Mar-21 at 14:36According to the documentation (see ?envfit
) "The printed output of continuous variables (vectors) gives the direction cosines which are the coordinates of the heads of unit length vectors." Further it explains that "In plot
these are scaled by their correlation (square root of the column ‘r2’) so that “weak” predictors have shorter arrows than “strong” predictors. You can see the scaled relative lengths using command scores
." The last piece of information is confirmed at the end of the documentation which says "The results can be accessed with scores.envfit
function which returns ... the fitted vectors scaled by correlation coefficient". So the difference is correlation, and you should use the results extracted by scores
. The directly accessed direction cosines will draw unit-length arrows (like you should see) irrespective of the strength of the variable.
The conventional plot
function in vegan can select variables by permutation P-values, but geom_text
and geom_segment
have no idea of doing this. You should only pass those rows that you want to plot, and remove the other scores.

QUESTION
I am running an NMDS and have a few questions regarding the envfit()
function in the vegan package. I have read the documentation for this function and numerous posts on SO and others about vegan, envfit()
, and species scores in general.
I have seen both
envfit()
andwascore()
used to calculate species scores for ordination techniques. By default, metaMDS() useswascore()
. This uses weighted averaging, which I understand. I am having a harder time understandingenvfit()
. Doenvfit()
andwascore(
yield the same results? Iswascore()
preferable given that it is the default? I realize that in some situations,wascore()
might not be an option (ie. negative values), as mentioned in this post. How to get 'species score' for ordination with metaMDS()?Given that
envfit()
andwascore()
both seem to be used for species scores, they should yield similar results, right? I am hoping that we could do a proof of this here... The following shows species scores determined usingmetaMDS()
using the defaultwascore()
:
ANSWER
Answered 2020-Apr-09 at 23:15wascores()
and envfit()
give the same result?
No they do not give the same result as these are doing two quite different things. In this answer I have explained how envfit()
works. wascores()
takes the coordinates of the points in the nmds space and computes the mean on each dimension, weighting observations by the abundance of the species at each point. Hence the species score returned by wascores()
is a weighted centroid in the NMDS space for each species, where the weights are the abundances of the species. envfit()
fits vectors that point in the direction of increasing abundance. This implies a plane over the NMDS ordination where abundance increase linearly from any point on the plane as you move parallel to the arrow, whereas wascores()
are best thought of as optima, where the abundance declines as you move away from the weighted centroid, although I think this analogy is looser than say with a CA ordination.
The issue about being optimal or not, is an issue if you passed in standardised data; as the answer you linked to shows, this would imply negative weights which doesn't work. Typically one doesn't standardise species abundances — there are transformations that we apply like converting to proportions, square root or log transformations, normalizing the data to the interval 0-1 — but these wouldn't give you negative abundances so you;re less likely to run into that issue.
envfit()
in an NMDS is not necessarily a good thing as we wouldn't expect abundances to vary linearly over the ordination space. The wascores()
are better as they imply non-linear abundances, but they are a little hackish in NMDS. ordisurf()
is a better option in general as it adds a GAM (smooth) surface instead of the plane implied by the vectors, but you can't show more than one or a few surfaces on the ordination, whereas you can add as many species WA scores or arrows as you want.
The basic issue here is the assumption that envfit()
and wascores()
should give the same results. There is no reason to assume that as these are fundamentally different approaches to computing "species scores" for NMDS and each comes with it's own assumptions and advantages and disadvantages.
QUESTION
I have a question regarding how to recreate the results from the envfit()
function in the vegan package.
Here is an example of envfit()
being used with an ordination and an environmental vector.

Install metamds
You can use metamds like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
