“…The data sets was also analysed using canonical variate analysis (Lejeune and Caliński, 2000;Kayzer et al, 2009), a form of multivariate analysis, which makes possible a graphical presentation of the results of estimation the similarities between the studied soil microorganisms (or soil enzymes) for the particular crop rotation system. This method, similar to principal component analysis, was chosen because considering data sets coming from the multidimensional experimental structure, it means besides replicates, the other source of variation are taken into consideration, such as crop rotation system type, measuring series and interactions (Kayzer et al, 2018;Kayzer, 2019). Canonical variates were determined with the procedure developed at the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Methods, Poznań University of Life Sciences, Poland.…”
