The first model is based on all respondents. The remaining models analyzed segments of the respondents based on their attitudes toward forest-based CES, attitudes toward wildflower viewing, and knowledge of local flora. Relative importance values provide a measure of the relative effect of each attribute. Table S3 for full model results and coefficient estimates. Significant Wald (=) values indicate differences in the estimated coefficient of an attribute between segments.
