Data extracted from quantitative papers used in the systematic review

Data extracted from quantitative papers used in the systematic review. The data were extracted by Ylenia Casali in 2024, and the table was compiled on April 7th, 2025. Network type description provides a brief summary of the network models, while Edges and Node descriptions specify the types of nodes and edges used. Since the study focused on the spatial scale of networks, we included information on the number of nodes and the areal extent of the case studies. When the area was not reported in the original paper, we searched for it using Wikipedia or Google and labeled it as “searched.” For details on the network metrics extracted from the literature, refer to S2 Table for the complete list of metrics and references.
