As a result, the\navailability of spatial information on non-market values associated with cultural ecosystem\nservices (social values) remains limited. Spatial function transfer, if it could be justified for\nsocial-value models, would expedite the development of social-value information and promote\nits more regular inclusion in ecosystem service assessments. We used survey data from six\nnational forests in Colorado and Wyoming to explore the potential for transferring cultural\necosystem service models between forests and specifically to test the hypothesis that transfer\nperformance increases with social-context similarity between transferring and receiving areas.\nResults confirm this relationship but fall just short of being able to predict with certainty when\ntransferred models will meet the minimum performance criterion needed for defensible use by\nmanagers. Social values are highly variable and can be difficult to predict, but our results suggest\nthat with the right combination of indicators that spatial function transfer can become a\ndefensible means of generating social-value information when primary data collection is not\nfeasible.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/F7833QZH", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.59b7f063e4b08b1644df5d77.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_59b7f063e4b08b1644df5d77", "keyword": ["Colorado", "SolVES", "USGS:59b7f063e4b08b1644df5d77", "United States", "Wyoming", "ecosystem services", "model transfer", "social context matching", "socioeconomic"], "modified": "2020-08-20T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-111.727975658, 36.5711424159, -104.285759693, 45.4795817792", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Data release for Using social-context matching to improve value-transfer performance for cultural ecosystem service models"}
