Una breve revisión de técnicas de análisis multivariantes aplicables en Fitosociología.

Abstract

ESUUOERO, A.: GAVILÁN, R. & RUBIO, A. 1994. A brief review ef multivariate methods with Phytosociological applicability. Botan/ca Complutensis, 19: 9-38. A bricf review of multivariate methods used in Phytosociological studies is presented. Thcse methods have been grouped in twa items: gradient techniques aríd numerica¡ classifieaíions. Some general concepts like transtormation and standarization of data and similarity measures have been previously conmented. Gradient methods have been classified in regression, calibration, ordination and constrained ordination techniques and, in Ihe other hand, we have considered hierarchical and divisive methods under classification procedures. Finally, advanced numerical approaches, like partitions comparisons or consensus classifications, are treated.
