Dear list,

I have a species matrix with species abundances (spp) and in other 
matrix with environmental information (env) with several factors. The 
factor I am interested in (mhab5) has five levels.
The spp matrix looks like that:

     Aba_sp Alc_gla Ann Ann_1uc Apo Asp_dec Asp_sp Bur Bur_1 Bur_1uc Bur_2
P1       0       0   0       0   0       0      0   0     0       0     0
P2       0       0   0       0   0       0      0   0     0       0     0
P3       0       0   0       0   0       0      0   1     1       0     0
P4       0       0   0       0   0       0      0   0     0       0     0
P5       0       0   0       0   0       0      0   1     0       0     2
P6       0       0   0       0   0       0      0   0     0       0     0
P7       0       0   0       0   1       0      0   0     0       0     0


Beside of testing for differences in species richness between the levels 
of the factor mhab5, I want to use the rarefied data for a model. In 
other words I need the rarefy richness for P1, P2, P3, and so on.....

I used the function accumcomp (BiodiversityR) which internally uses the 
function rarefy (vegan)
acumhab5 <- accumcomp(x=spp, y=env, factor="mhab5", 
method="rarefaction", conditioned=TRUE, legend=T)

I am able to extract the rarefied species richness with
richnessmhab5 <- t(acumhab5[ ,  , 2])

I get this output:

     mhab5
obs    Border Branches     Crown    Trunk  Undist.
   1  15.66701 11.88617  8.582444 19.37374 16.85696
   2  23.31066 18.17601 13.536749 27.53000 23.01568
   3  28.83948 22.61587 17.677169 33.35105 26.53217
   4  32.98145 26.06969 20.730801 37.93189 29.04925
   5  36.39266 28.90257 23.480157 41.76465 30.97731
   6  39.39713 31.30142 25.594925 45.01781 32.62629
   7  41.92287 33.47224 27.560948 47.98189 34.00000


With this output I am not able to know which results correspond to which 
plot (see in spp matrix: P1, P2, P3, etc)
any clue how can I get the information in the order I need?

have a nice day,
Thank you very much!
Cristabel.
