On the far left is a plot which has three scales corresponding to key plant preferences: light demand, water demand, and soil pH. An additional level of information regarding chill hour requirements is added into the graphic using the colored rings around the dots representing each crop. By plotting each crop on this grid, we were able to visually resolve which of the plants have similar preferences in terms of their basic siting needs. We used this map to identify four main “clusters,” which would be used in all further spatial analysis. We then took each of these clusters, and represented the plants within them as a function of their nutrient demand (shown in the adjacent graphic). This allowed us to make further refinements for plant grouping.
