1:20 000 000.Accuracy of the map:
The map is based on data of a 1:13 000 000 scale map, specified according to herbarium materials.Projection:
"Albers Equal-Area Conic Projection for USSR", 9, 1001, 7, 100, 0, 44, 68, 0, 0Basic 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: 1 - reliable data from herbarium and published sources; the polygons (1) - generalized information on the species distribution from published sources and herbarium specimens.Method of the map construction:
The data from the herbarium materials of LE, a published map of a part of the species range (Grossheim, 1952) and published data (Grossheim, 1945; Vassilchenko, 1987) were used for constructing the range of Medicago arabica. The range consists of two polygons and dots. The first polygon is located in Crimea, mainly along its southeastern coast; the second polygon covers the Black Sea Coast of the Caucaus, Transcaucasia and the western coast of the Caspian Sea.References:
