Dear list members,

Is there any reference or document on how to interpret a "constrained" 
non-metrical multidimensional scaling using ecological data?  By 
"constrained" I mean after fitting environmental covariables, using, for 
example, the "envfit" function in the vegan package.  Is it possible to 
interpret the resulting plot in the same way that a constrained 
ordination, for example CCA?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best,

Manuel
