Authors:

Object biologists - M.A. Chumakov, T.L. Kuznetsova, GIS-specialist - M.I. Saulich.

Date of creation:

14.07.2004.

Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of map:

Map was created based on materials of maps of natural scale 1:12 000 000, 1: 33 000 000.

Projection:

"Alber.s Equal Area Conic for the USSR", 9, 1001, 7, 100, 0, 44, 68, 0, 0.

Basic contents:

Vector map. Area of species distribution is shown by polygons. Zones of pest damage are shown by polygons.

Accuracy of classifier:

Three damage zones were defined within the moth area, i.e., high (more than 10 larvae/100 plants), moderate (5-10 larvae/100 plants) and low (less then 5 larvae/100 plants) damage zones. The division into zones is made due to the rise phase of the Cotton Bollworm population dynamics; during depression periods it may not reveal its highest harming activity.

Method of map production:

Scientists were given maps with boundaries of Oblasts and arable lands. After reviewing historic literature, species distribution was hand drawn on maps. The damage and distribution zones were determined according to the following sources: Shchegolev et al. (1934), Volkov et al. (1955), Goryshin (1958), Onisimova (1959), Ismailov (1975), Poloskina & Kuznetsova (1975), Shamuratov (1979), Sukhareva (1999), Kononenko (2003). The map from VIZR (Polyakov, 1975) was used to determine the borders of the damage zones. If data were on the Oblast-level, distribution is on the Oblast level. In some cases, Oblast.s are further refined by boundaries of the Arable Land Map (Koroljeva et al., 2003). Hand drawn maps were scanned, georeferenced and vectorized.
