1TOT = Total records,

2BA = Bank accessions,

3POT = Potential area km2,

4SGC = Seed geographic coverage (area of 10 km radius per seed accession);

5GCS = Geographic coverage score (seed geographic coverage/potential area)*10,

6SRC = Sampling representativeness score (number of seed accessions/all taxon records)*10,

7RTS = Rarity taxa score (records in rare environments(5 and 95 percentiles)/total records of taxon)*10,

8ExS = Experts score (where 1 corresponds to a very high priority, and 10 corresponds to the lowest priority),

9AVS = Average score.
