S2 is the list of planning documents included in the search. S3 are graphs of beneficiary profiles and ecosystem services profiles for each assessment area. S4 are graphs of ecosystem frequencies, beneficiary profiles, and ecosystem services for each cluster. S5 is the table of socio-economic and ecological variables for each assessment area. S6 are graphs of socio-economic and ecological variables for each cluster. S7 are post-hoc statistical analysis to relate socio-economic and ecological variables to ecosystem services priorities. S8 are the frequency at which ecosystems are mentioned in documents for each assessment area. S9 is the table of beneficiary profiles for each assessment area. S10 are the relative importance of ecosystem services attributes to each beneficiary type for each assessment area. S11 are the final ecosystem services profiles for each assessment area.
