@section How are environmental arrows scaled?
-Arrows for continuous environmental variables in constrained ordination
-(@code{cca}, @code{rda}, @code{capscale}) and fitted environmental
-vectors from @code{envfit} are scaled to fill the current graph. The
-lengths of arrows do not have fixed meaning with respect to the points
-(species, sites), but they can only compared against each other, and
-therefore only their relative lengths are important.
+The printed output of @code{envfit} gives the direction cosines which
+are the coordinates of unit length arrows. For plotting, these are
+scaled by their correlation (square roots of column @code{r2}). You can
+see the scaled lengths of @code{envfit} arrows using command
+ at code{scores}.
-If you really want change the scaling of the arrows, you can use
- at code{text} (plotting arrows and text) or @code{points} (plotting only
-arrows) functions for constrained ordination. These functions have
-argument @code{arrow.mul} which sets the multiplier. The @code{plot}
-function for @code{envfit} also has the @code{arrow.mul} argument to set
-the arrow multiplier. If you save the invisible result of the
-constrained ordination @code{plot} command, you can see the value of the
-currently used @code{arrow.mul} which is saved as an attribute of
- at code{biplot} scores.
+The scaled environmental vectors from @code{envfit} and the arrows for
+continuous environmental variables in constrained ordination
+(@code{cca}, @code{rda}, @code{capscale}) are adjusted to fill the
+current graph. The lengths of arrows do not have fixed meaning with
+respect to the points (species, sites), but they can only compared

+used @code{arrow.mul} which is saved as an attribute of @code{biplot}

An unexported function @code{ordiArrowMul} is used to find the scaling
for the current plot. You can use this function to see how arrows would
be scaled:
