The following information is about Ordination.
Ordination Defined
The simplest definition is "Putting Things in Order", which explains the titles of a series of papers (Wartenberg et al. 1987, Peet et al. 1988, Jackson and Somers 1991, Palmer 1993). For some opinions on what makes a good ordination method, see The ideal ordination method. The origin of the term "ordination" in ecology is attributed to Goodall (1954).
* "Ordination is the collective term for multivariate techniques that arrange sites along axes on the basis of data on species composition" (ter Braak 1987)
* "The term 'ordination' derives from early attempts to order a group of objects, for example in time or along an environmental gradient. Nowadays the team is used more generally and refers to an 'ordering' in any number of dimensions (preferably few) that approximates some pattern of response of the set of objects. The usual objective of ordination is to help generate hypotheses about the relationship between the species composition at a site and the underlying environmental gradients" (Digby and Kempton 1987)
