   FIG. C1. Biplot of the first two axes for the nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) analysis of microclimate, soil nutrient, and soil moisture variables in different microhabitats. The NMDS is based on a Euclidean distance dissimilarity matrix of normalized environmental variables, and has a Kruskal’s stress of 0.07. Confidence ellipses (Gaussian bivariate) are analogous to 1 SD.
