Fig.1 Example of the relative importance (depth of color) for the three perspectives (social in red, ecological in green, physical/hydrological in blue) applied to a) the Cache la Poudre River (CLP) at the Canyon mouth near Fort Collins, b) the South Fork (SF) tributary of the CLP, and c) Fall Creek, a tributary to the SF of the CLP.
