This study aimed to evaluate the benefits of addressing site-scale indicators (found during site assessment) when prioritizing natural capital. The authors developed 18 landscape- and 14 site-scale indicators for site prioritization. The study used the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to weight the site-scale indicators and then used the multi-attribute utility theory to combine them into a quantifiable priority status.
