Date of creation:

Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of map:

Map was created based on materials of map of natural scale 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 and zones of disease severity are shown by polygons.

Accuracy of classifier:

Distribution was determined based on the regions where the Cytospora Twig Die Back is registered on fruit crops according to published scientific materials. Within the limits of the disease area three zones of severity were distinquished. The disease occurs at least 1 time over a period of 2 years or almost annually in the zone of high severity; 1 time over a period of 3 years in the zone of moderate severity, and 1 time over a period of 5 years in the zone of low severity.

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. Distribution of the disease was presented on a map within the limits of fruit-growing in the countries of the former USSR, i.e., in Turkmenistan, Kara-Kalpakstan, Novosibirsk Region, Latvia, the Leningrad, Orel, Tambov, Kursk, Voronezh Regions. High severity of the Cytospora Twig Die Back of pear is observed in areas of intensive fruit growing of the North Caucasus (in the northern part of the Krasnodar and Stavropol Territories, in the Rostov Region, the Black Sea region, Kabardino-Balkaria, Chechnya, Ingushetia, Alania), in the most humid areas of Transcaucasia, in Moldova, Ukraine (Crimea), East Georgia, Armenia. Moderate severity of the disease is observed in the southern part of the Krasnodar and Stavropol Territories, in Adygea, Karachay-Cherkessia, Lithuania, Kazakhstan, and republics of Central Asia. Low severity of the disease is observed in areas of fruit growing in the Far East, in the Moscow Region. The following sources were used to determine the areas for this map: Tsakadze (1956), Gerbanevskaya (1958), Kropis (1958), Byzova et al. (1968), Dobrovolskene (1969), Minkevich et al. (1971), Konstantinov & Shkreba (1972), Petrushova et al. (1975), Isin (1981), Bazerashvili (1985), Ostasheva (1987), Smolyakova (2000).
