Mariano,

You should have tried text() or points():

m <- rda(varespec ~ Al + P + K, varechem)
plot(m, type="n") # an empty plot
text(m, display="bp", col=2) # add red arrows

The text() function draws both arrows and labels, and points() only
unlabelled arrows.

See ?text.cca, ?points.cca for details and further arguments.
