16 Conclusions concept of adjusted R enables to use mean Ellenberg indicator values as explanatory variables in constrained ordination adjusted R has to be calculated using modified permutation schema (permutation of assignments of indicator values to species) the question asked by this analysis: How much variation does the mean EIVs explain? Does the current assignment of indicator values to species says something more than if they are assigned randomly? And if so, how much?
