1:20 000 000Accuracy of the map:
Map was created based on materials of maps of natural scale 1:10 000 000 - 1:55 000 000 and on literature data.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 data of Krylov et al. (1949) was used as a prototype for the map. It was supplemented with the data of Vasilchenko & Pidotti (1975), the herbarium of weed plants at VIR and the database authored by Petrosyan et al. (2003). Adjustments were made according to the references listed below. This species grows in Eurasia between 35 and 55 degrees N, from the south of the forest zone up to a semi-desertic zone, mainly on sandy soil. It is known (McVean, 1966) that in Central Asia and Siberia the species grows only in the mountains (from 200 up to 1800 meters above sea level). The zone of weediness is located in the basic area of the species to the European part on arable lands in a zone of steppes and semi-deserts. Here the plant litters grain crops, deposits and pastures with an abundance of more than 2-7 plants per square meter (Wapshere et al., 1974). 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:
