Object description Download GIS-layers

Authors:

Object specialist - S.Yu.Larina, GIS-specialist - I.A.Budrevskaya.

Data of creation:

5.12.2003.

Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of the map:

Created using maps of natural scale 1:80 000 000 and larger.

Projection:

"Alber's Equal Area Conic for the USSR", 9, 1001, 7, 100, 0, 44, 68, 0, 0.

Basic contents:

Vector map. Area of distribution is shown by polygons (basic distribution) and by points (sporadic distribution). Zone of harmfulness is shown by polygons.

Accuracy of the 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. Within species distribution, areas where Chenopodium aristatum is a pernicious weed, are shown as zones of harmfulness.

Method of map production:

Published literature was reviewed, including Atlases, monographs and papers. Occurrence data were obtained from herbarium specimens, floras, monographs and papers. Distribution points were determined according to the following sources: (Volkov, 1935); (Golubintseva, 1936). The areas of harmfulness were established according to: (Nikitin, 1983); (Korovina, 1983) and coordinated with the boundaries of the Arable Land Map (Koroljeva et al, 2003). The sites of sporadic distribution of Chenopodium aristatum are depicted according to the literature given below. 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
