1:20 000 000.Accuracy of map:
Map was created based on information taken from the open-published literature and maps of scale 1:10 000 000-1:80 000 000.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 is shown by polygons, and sporadic distribution by points. Zones of weediness are shown by polygons.Accuracy of classifier:
The weed area is subdivided into two zones, one representing species distribution, and the second where weed is considered a serious pest. Points represent locations where sporadic occurrence has been reported.Method of map production:
Published literature was reviewed, including Atlases, monographs and papers. Occurrence data were obtained from herbarium specimens, floras, monographs and papers. The following sources were used: Nikitin (1983), Geideman (1954), Grigor.evskaya (2003), Kazakova & Urazmetov (1975), Makarova (1955), Mamedov & Aliev (1989), Orlova (1962), Skvortsov (1971), Tarasova (2003), Tabaga (1982), Pavlov (1965), Krasnoborov (1997), Verkhovskaya (1993), Maryushkina (1986) & Grossgeim (1949). The zone of harmfulness was determined according to the following references: Verkhovskaya & Esipenko (1993), Makarova (1955), Mereshko (1959), Okazov & Daderzhanashvilli (1989), Yurtsev (1974), and the Map of Arable lands (Koroljeva et al., 2003). Data were then compiled through scanning and geo-referencing to develop a composite vector map. The biologist, together with the GIS specialist, drew a composite weed distribution area based on compiled data.Reference citations:
