A pair of ecological tables, made of a species abundance matrix and an environmental variables matrix measured at the same sampling sites, is usually analyzed by Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) (Ter BRAAK, 1986). CCA can be considered as a Correspondence Analysis (CA) in which the ordination axis are constrained to be linear combinations of the environmental variables. Recently the procedure has been extended to other disciplines as Sociology or Psichology and it is potentially useful in many other fields.
