Table 4.

The distribution (%) of activities and values, namely ecosystem service benefits, attached to the mapped outdoor recreation sites and categorized based on the change in visitation frequency due to COVID-19. The respondents were able to indicate several activities and values in each mapped site. Hence, percentages indicate the relative share among all sites (denoted in brackets for each column) where a certain activity or value was identified. The five most common activities/values are highlighted.
