Scale:

1:20.000.000

Accuracy of map:

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

Projection:

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

Basic contents:

Vector map. Area of species distribution and zones of disease severity are shown by polygons.

Accuracy of classifier:

In the area of species distribution a zone of disease severity was allocated according to the climatic conditions promoting the fungus development.

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. 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. The area of fungus distribution was identified according to the results of the analysis of the published data on the fungus distribution by Karavyanskii & Mazur (1984). The zone of severity was allocated in regions where weather conditions frequently promote high disease development (Karavyanskii & Mazur, 1975) that reduces hay yield by 30-80% according to: Salunska (1965), Tarkovskii (1974).
