Abstract
From among the protocols of the previous chapters, we first carry forward “salient scaling” as ranked ORDITs from applying product-order protocols to place-ranked criteria. This chapter extends the foregoing by incorporating spatial linkage criteria (Bivand et al. 2008) with the salient scaling to construct a contiguous area on the landscape from component cells (hexagons) that might serve the interests of conservation. For present purposes, we focus attention on hexagons in the Ridge and Valley Region of Pennsylvania (Fig. 10.1).
