Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of the map:

The map is based on data of 1:10 000 000 - 1:80 000 000 scale maps, specified according to herbarium materials.

Projection:

"Albers Equal-Area Conic Projection for USSR", 9, 1001, 7, 100, 0, 44, 68, 0, 0

Basic contents:

The map is a vector file consisting of 1 basic and 2 subject layers. The species range is represented by polygons and dots.

Accuracy of the qualifier:

The dots represent information on the species localities: reliable data from herbarium (1) and published sources (2); the polygons - generalized information on the species distribution from published sources and herbarium specimens.

Method of the map construction:

The range of Calamagrostis epigeios is constructed on the base of both factual data of seed and herbarium collections of WIR, herbarium collections of LE, and published maps (Shelyag-Sosonko, 1977; Kharkevich, 1985; Meusel et al., 1965; Hulten, Fries, 1986). The final range consists of two polygons (with account of typical conditions of the species habitats as a mesophyte) and separate dots. The main polygon embraces all the European and Siberian areas of the former USSR (except for the zone of true tundras and permafrost), Crimea, Caucasus, Central Asia and Kazakhstan (except for the zones of desert steppes and deserts, where the species occurs rarely and only in river valleys). The second polygon is confined to Sakhalin. Dots beyond polygon borders represent secondary localities of the species.
