  1. Model and parameters of regulating ecosystem services index (ES) in response to: high educational attainment (% of the population with high education attainment by neighbourhood over the total population, proxy of luxury effect), neighbourhood development age index (values ranging from 0 – newest to 1 – oldest), habitat quality index (values ranging from 0 - lowest to 1 - highest), vegetation cover (% per neighbourhood), population density (inhab/ha), and interactions of vegetation cover with population density. Model formula for each predictive variable, adjusted variance explained (R2), F-statistic (F), significance level (p) and standard error (Std. Error). N = 28, n.s.: non-significant.
