Abstract

This chapter introduces readers with no experience of ordination methods before to its underlying concepts. If you are at all familiar with ordination, we suggest you may want to go straight to Chapter 12, as the method we use here, Bray-Curtis ordination, is rarely used. However, it is an excellent tool to explain the underlying idea of ordination.
