Strategy followed to assign emission to environments illustrated with NGC 3627. For the census of area, M_mol, and SFR as presented in Sect. 4.1, we consider all the emission within the mask footprint of each environment (working at our native resolution of ∼1″). For the analysis presented in Sects. 4.2–4.4, we turn to measurements on kpc-sized hexagonal apertures, so that we implicitly average over the star-forming cycle and SFRs are more robustly estimated.
