(s = 0.660), which is more associated with caribou habitat. Axis 2,
which explained 29% of the variation in the data, was most positively
correlated with beaked hazel (s = 0.379) and mountain maple
(s = 0.331) and most negatively correlated with black spruce
(s = 0.431). There was strong differentiation between CUT stands
and the other two stand types (FIRE and INT) due to relatively high
densities of deciduous shrubs in the former (upper right quadrant);
differentiation between the latter two stand types was not as
evident.
