Abstract
A central problem of phytosociology is the discovery of environmental gradients which influence vegetational variation. For this purpose numerical ordinations (e.g. Orlóci 1978, 1979, Prentice 1977) and table rearrangement methods (e.g., Lieth & Moore 1971, Dale & Quadraccia 1973, Van der Maarel, Janssen & Louppen 1978, Feoli & Orlóci 1979) have been proposed.
Contribution from the Working Group for Data-Processing in Phytosociology, International Society for Vegetation Science. This paper has been presented at the Workshop of the International Statistical Ecology Program, Parma 1978. A computer program, written by M. Lagonegro, is available from the authors on request free of charge. The Italian CNR funded the study (project ‘Promozione qualità dell’ambiente’, subproject ‘Metodologie matematiche e basi di dati’). We thank Mr. A. Zampar for technical assistance and Dr. E. van der Maarel and Prof. L. Orlóci for comments on the manuscript
