Map of 96 parcels protected by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) used in this study. The size of circles roughly indicates parcel size categories (0–25 percentile: <8.1 ha; 25–50 percentile: 8.1–27.2 ha; 50–75 percentile: 27.2–98.0 ha; 75–100 percentile: >98.0 ha). Size categories are for illustration only—continuous area was used in analyses. Color coding indicates which ecological benefit metrics were available for each site. Five ecological benefit metrics were available for every parcel (set A), species of conservation concern are known to occur near 46 parcels (set B) and field derived benefit metrics were based on a survey of 23 parcels (set C)
