For Correlation Matrix we have a term and definition in Ordination.
Correlation Matrix (Ordination) 
A square, symmetric matrix consisting of nothing but correlation coefficients. The rows and the columns represent the variables. The diagonal elements are all equal to 1, for the simple reason that the correlation coefficient of a variable with itself equals 1. The correlation matrices given in CANOCO usually differ slightly from those calculated in basic statistical packages. This is because CANOCO uses weighted correlations (i.e. samples with a higher summed abundance of all species will have more influence in the calculation).
