NMDS ordination plot of plant communities in the control site (control), flat ground (Flat), the north-east facing slope (NE), and the south-east facing slope (SE). The color dots indicate surveyed plots per site, and the black plus sign (+) indicates the species found. The ellipses for sites were drawn based on the standard deviation of point scores. The bold text species are indicator species; S. polaris and M. biflora are indicator species for the control site. L. confusa is an indicator species for the control, flat ground, and the NE. B. vivipara is an indicator species for the control, NE, and the SE. P. alpine is an indicator species for the flat ground. The stress value of NMDS was 0.21
