[R-sig-eco] Fuzzy-Set-Ordination for classifying plant species???

[Dave Roberts]

Dragos,

    I'm sorry but I do not understand your question.  Are you creating a
dissimilarity matrix of lakes or species?  I suspect that a transposing
of your matrix might work, but I need to understand your problem better.
Please send more detail

Thanks, Dave
