Primary and Univariate Parameter Calculations
Non-Metric Multidimensional Scaling (nMDS)
nMDS is currently widely used in the analysis of spatial and temporal change in benthic communities (e.g. Warwick & Clarke, 1991).
The recorded observations from data were exposed to computation of triangular matrices of similarities between all pairs of samples.
The similarity of every pair of sites was computed using the Bray-Curtis index on transformed data.
Clustering was by a hierarchical agglomerative method using group average sorting, and the results are presented as a dendrogram and as a two-dimensional ordination plot.
The degree of distortion involved in producing an ordination gives an indication of the adequacy of the nMDS representation and is recorded as a stress value as outline in Table 13.
nMDS Stress
Adequacy of Representation for Two-Dimensional Plot
≤0.05
Excellent representation with no prospect of misinterpretation.
>0.05 to 0.1
Good ordination with no real prospect of a misleading interpretation.
>0.1 to 0.2
