Dear Claire Elizabeth Couch,
First let me explain how envfit() works: For continuous environmental variables
it actually uses ordination to predict the environmental variable. Under the
hood (bonnet), it fits a first degree trend surface (plane in 2D) for
environmental variable over the ordinat

Unfortunately, I cannot give a direct answer to your question since I am
not familiar with envfit.
However, I wonder whether you have a specific reason to use
unconstrained ordination. If you use a constrained method, varpart will
produce exactly what you want. (See e.g.

I am analyzing some microbiome data by using unconstrained ordination (PCA
or NMDS) followed by environmental vector fitting with the envfit function
in the vegan package. The output of envfit includes an r2 value for each
vector or factor included in the envfit model, but I am interested in the
