Below you will find a list and description of the files included in this data publication.


VARIABLE DESCRIPTION FILE (1)

1. \Data\_variable_descriptions.csv: Comma-separated values (CSV) file containing a list and description of variables found in all data files. (A description of these variables is also provided in the metadata below.)

Columns include:

Filename = name of data file
Variable = name of variable
Units = units (if applicable)
Precision = precision (if applicable)
Description = description of variable


DATA FILES (4)

1. \Data\nlcd_siteid.csv: CSV file containing the site identification numbers (HUC10 watersheds) and the proportion of agricultural and development cover in each of the 202 watersheds.

Variables include:

SiteID = Site index numbers for HUC10 watersheds (1-202)

prop_developed = Proportion of land covered by development in watershed

prop_agri = Proportion of land covered by agriculture in watershed


2. \Data\oak_siteid.csv: CSV file containing site identification numbers (HUC10 watersheds) and the proportion of oak cover as well as area of oak tree coverage in each of the 202 watersheds.

Variables include:

SiteID = Site index numbers for HUC10 watersheds (1-202)

oak_km = Area of oak tree cover in watershed (square kilometers)

prop_oak = Proportion of the land covered by oak in watershed


3. \Data\rem_eff_site.csv: CSV file containing feral swine removal data and effort hours (time spent removing feral swine) by site, subperiod, and method.

Variables include:

subper_id = Index of secondary 10-day removal subperiod (1-9)

subper_start = Start date of 10-day subperiod (mm/dd/yyyy)

subper_end = End date of 10-day subperiod (mm/dd/yyyy)

period = Index of primary 90-day removal period (1-17)

Method = Description of method used to remove feral swine,
where:
Aerial = feral swine removed via aerial operations e.g., helicopter
Trap = feral swine removed via live trapping

SiteID = Site index numbers for HUC10 watersheds (1-202)

tot_hrs = Total hours spent removing feral swine

tot_rem = Number of feral swine removed

Area_Name = Name of feral swine elimination area watershed is located within,
where:
0 = outside elimination area
1 = Elimination Area 1
2 = Elimation Area 2, etc.

site_area_km = Area of site/watershed (square kilometers)

effect_area_km = Effective area of removal method divided by site/watershed area (proportion of watershed)

area_km = Area of elimination area (square kilometers) (values are "NA" for method = "Trap", values can be filtered to 7 main elimination areas)

prop_site_impact = Proportion of the site covered by removal effective area

pass_idx = Index of removal passes within a subperiod and watershed (unitless--index used for model fitting)

effect_area_hours = Hours spent removing feral swine divided by the site/watershed area (hours per square kilometer)


4. \Data\sysbait_det_eff.shp: Shapefile (and associated files) containing systematic baiting data including information such as the number of feral swine detections within a 10-day subperiod and primary period, subperiod start and end dates, number of trapping, number of trap nights, site identification number, elimination area name, and location (polygon coordinates in NAD 83 UTM Zone 15).

Variables include:

FID = Unique identifier

Shape = Feature geometry (polygon)

sbpr_st = Start date of 10-day subperiod (mm/dd/yyyy)

year = Calendar year of primary period (2020-2024)

fy = Fiscal year of primary period (where fiscal year is: Oct-Sept) (2021-2025)

period = Index of primary 90-day removal period (1-17)

sbpr_nd = End date of 10-day subperiod (mm/dd/yyyy)

site_dx = Index of sites/watersheds (1-202)

detectn = Whether or not feral swine were detected via systematic baiting during the subperiod
where:
0 = feral swine not detected
1 = feral swine detected

trp_ngh = Number of traps opened per night, summed across traps

eff_hrs = Hours spent monitoring feral swine via systematic baiting by watershed area (hours per square kilometer)

SiteID = Original site names for HUC10 watersheds (1-202)

Area_Nm = Name of feral swine elimination area watershed is located within
where
0 = outside elimination area
1 = Elimination Area 1
2 = Elimation Area 2, etc.

st_r_km = Area of site/watershed (square kilometers)

eff_hr_ = Hours spent monitoring feral swine via systematic baiting by elimination area (hours per square kilometer)

trp_ng_ = Number of trap-nights divided by site/watershed area (trap-nights per square kilometer)
