File Descriptions

The files listed in this document are the minimum content of a Priority Resources of Concern (ROC) ServCat record. 
These files were developed as part of the priority ROC documentation process (USFWS 2020, Taylor and Paveglio 2017) for San Luis, San Joaquin River, and Merced National Wildlife Refuges, 3 refuges that comprise the 
San Luis National Wildlife Refuge Complex (lit code=snlc). The file names consist of four elements: a code that represents the complex or refuge, a tag of "roc", a condensed short name, and a date in the "yyyymmdd" format.
Each element is partitioned using the underscore "_" character. For example, a table representing the Priority Resources of Concern for San Luis National Wildlife Refuge Complex would be "snlc_roc_priority_20210420.csv"

File				Content description
snlc_roc_sources_20210217.csv	A list of citations representing the ROC criteria information sources used in the ROC documentation process. Sources include state and national conservation plans,
				species special status lists, and refuge purposes and enabling legislation.

snlc_roc_complist_20210921.csv	The 'Comprehensive List of Resources of Concern' for the refuge complex (Table 4 in Taylor and Paveglio 2017). A list of species cross-referenced to species list 
				sources: state and national conservation plans, sensitive species lists and refuge purposes and enabling legislation. Contains no criteria score information. Full 
				citations for the list sources (represented in the columns of the table) are provided in the snlc_roc_sources_20210217.csv file.

snlc_roc_criteria_20210421.xlsx	The criteria, criteria descriptions, criteria scoring scales, and criteria weights used in the ROC documentation process.

snlc_roc_priority_20210420.csv	A table of the selected priority ROCs for the refuge complex (Table 5 in Taylor and Paveglio 2017). A final product of the ROC documentation process. 
				The table identifies the ROC unique identifiers (<complex 4-letter code>_<3-letter ROC code>), the priority ROCs, the nested ROCs, the refuges in the Complex where the 
				priority ROC occurs (3-letter refuge LIT codes), and the final priority ROC ranks (1=highest priority). Refuge lit codes are as follows: SNL=San Luis NWR, MER=Merced NWR, SNQ=San Joaquin River NWR, CGR=Grasslands WMA 

snlc_roc_priority_20210420.xml	The Extensible Markup Language (XML) version of the priority ROC table (aka 'Table 5'). The data in this version is structured as a machine-readable file.  

snlc_roc_summary_20210217.xlsx		A table summarizing selected priority ROCs for the refuge complex (Table 5 in Taylor and Paveglio 2017). The table identifies the ROC unique identifiers 
				(<complex 4-letter code>_<3-letter ROC code>), the priority ROCs, the nested ROCs, the refuges in the Complex where the 
				priority ROC occurs (3-letter refuge LIT codes), ROC criteria scores, ROC total scores, and the final priority ROC ranks (1=highest priority).
