Dear vegetation community and multivariate users,
I liked discussions here related to selection of different ordination methods. In this connection I have a query related to using NMDS score value as environmental variable and regression against a response variable. Bot NMDS axes were taken as latent environmental variable and done regression against response separately. I have a strong reason why I did that. Because sampling vegetation is hard to distinguish a clear controlling gradient.
I shall be grateful of some feed back and discussions related to this topic.
I am using all of these analyses in R and vegan.
Thank you all in advance.

Dear Sean Haughian,
Thank you very much for your own answer as well as pdf as reference. It is a wonderful help. I got a problem here. My students have been studying vegetation in lowland flat area. I decided and suggested to use NMDS axis scores from their sample by species matrix.
I wonder which method would be appropriate. All ordination methods have this type of problem.
Thank you.
