This research proposes opportunities for scoring within a single category of attribute, thus
providing further opportunities to combine both expert opinion and stakeholder preferences
and using criteria related to ecosystem services (ES) values. In addition to the scoring between
layers of information through the administration of surveys, weights are applied to features
based on: 1) spatial characteristics (i.e., size and location), and 2) relative contribution. A feature's
relative contribution considers data quality concerns, such as certainty and confidence in
the data.
