Scale:

1:20,000,000

Accuracy of map:

Map was created using a map of the gardens of the USSR to the scale of 1:20,000,000.

The projection:

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

Basic contents:

Map is a vector file consisting of polygons and points. Points represent recorded locations of the species; polygons represent area of possible distribution of the species.

Accuracy of classifier:

Polygons are based on literature sources, political boundaries and ecological descriptions. Point data were obtained from literature sources and herbarium specimens. Polygons are based on literature sources, herbarium samples, and field surveys by the author.

Method of map production:

Historical agricultural statistics were reviewed at the regional level. The Former Soviet Union had 16 regions. The boundaries from the 1:4000000 map of arable lands (Koroljeva et al., 2003) were used to further refine crop distribution. The area map was created based on the following materials: Koroljeva (2003), Tulupnikov (1960), and State list (1994, 2004). Polygon area is situated in the European region of the former USSR; its northern border goes to the Arhangelsk region according to Rep'ev & Stankevich (1999) and Lahanov (2002). Species is distributed mostly in Western Ukraine, Crimea, Moldova, the Baltic States, Belorussia, the Northern Caucasus, and central Russia according to Leokene (1964), Korenev (1975), and Vehov (1978). Plantations also lie in the Leningrad and Murmansk regions, in Karelia, in Middle Asia, in the forest-steppe zone of Western Siberia, in Altai, and in the Irkutsk region according to Nikitin (1950), Shtan'ko (1958, 1961), Plennik (1961), Peltsih (1976), Krasavtsev (1977), and Kostomarov (2000). These locations are marked by points. The author also consulted with the specialist from the Vetch collection at the Department of Genetic Resources of Leguminous Plants at the VIR, T.G. Aleksandrova, in order to create this map.
