Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of the map:

The map is based on 1:10 000 000 - 1:50 000 000 scale maps.

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 a polygon and dots. The localities of the species are represented by the dots, the area of possible species distribution is represented by the polygon.

Accuracy of the qualifier:

The dots represent information on the species localities according to published sources and herbarium specimens. The polygons are based on generalized information from published sources and herbarium specimens.

Method of the map construction:

The data on the species distribution were obtained from the database of the species localities coordinates included in the Information Retrieval System "Crop Wild Relatives in Russia" (STC Informregistr 0229905883, 1999), and from the published maps by Vasilyukhina (1969), N.I.Orlova and A.A.Kustysheva in "Flora of the Northeast of European part of the USSR" (1976), A.K.Skvortsov in "Ranges of trees and shrubs of the USSR" (1980), Koropachinskiy and Vstovskaya (2002).
In the European part, the range borders are drawn after Skvortsov (1980), the northeastern part of the border is corrected after Orlova and Kustysheva (1976). The northern and southern borders in the West Siberia and Kazakhstan are drawn after Vasilyukhina (1969). The range borders in East Siberia and Far East are drawn after Skvortsov (1977) and corrected in the area of Central Siberian Plateau after Koropachinskiy and Vstovskaya (2002).
