Data from: Data on four criteria for targeting the placement of conservation buffers in agricultural landscapes
Four criteria are generally used to prioritize agricultural lands for placing conservation buffers. The criteria include soil erodibility, hydrological sensitivity, wildlife habitat, and impervious surface rate that capture conservation buffers' benefits in reducing soil erosion, controlling runoff generation, enhancing wildlife habitat, and mitigating stormwater impacts, respectively. This article describes the data used to derive the values of those attributes and a scheme to classify the values in multi-criteria analysis of conservation buffer placement in the Raritan River Basin in New Jersey in the accompanying article "Choosing between alternative placement strategies for conservation buffers using borda count" (2016), Landscape and Urban Planning 153:66-73 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.landurbplan.2016.03.012

Data in BriefIntended use
Each of four criteria can be useful indicators for prioritizing conservation efforts in landscapes. A localized classification system is a powerful tool to balance the subjective preferences of stakeholders and the objective measurement of natural resource conditions in resource management decision-making. The method for analyzing the data and the classification system are useful tools for making critical decisions on conservation buffer placement.Theme
