Figure 7. 2020 NMDS ordination of plant community composition. Species composition of 2020 with ellipses representing seeding mixtures (solid lines) and ripping technique (dashed lines); k=3, stress= 0.18. Vectors provide community composition associations given different metabolic/life-forms. Vectors not labelled were not significant. Species code coloration is dictated by whether the species was in the seed bank (i.e., Species Not Seeded; black text) or part of the seed mixes (i.e., Species Seeded; grey text). Data were collected in July 2020 from BNI Coal, LTD, near Center, ND USA.
