You have samples that have no species observed at all. As such is it impossible to anything with these samples. Remove them and then fit your model datam <- with(datam, datam[rowSums(WinterM_ratio) > 0, ]) m.cca <- cca(WinterM_ratio ~ topo_mean + coast + prec_max + temp_min + evi_min, datam) However, I have one question for you; is WinterM_ratio a univariate response (single column)? If it is, why do you want to analyse it using CCA? CCA is generally used for multivariate species responses. Finally; you might want to do something about that warning message. Either your R is out of date or your package library is. If you are using R2.11-x then run this: update.packages(checkBuilt = TRUE) to update the packages to the newest version of R; there have been lots of changes in the way help is processed / made available that might not be available if using packages built under earlier versions of R.
