Date of creation:

Scale:

1:20,000,000.

Accuracy of map:

Created based on materials of map of natural scale 1:8,000,000-1:55,000,000 and on literature data.

Projection:

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

Main content:

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

Accuracy of classifier:

The distribution of the species is divided into zones of main distribution, sporadic distribution, and weediness area.

Method of map production:

Zones of distribution and weediness allocated according to results of the analysis of open-published cartographical materials and literature. Three species are described, based on the former name Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop. s. str., according to data of Cherepanov (1995) and other authors (Keller et al., 1935; Maltsev, 1937; Nikitin, 1983; etc.). These are Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop. (Cirsium arvense var. horridum Koch.), Cirsium incanum (S.G.Gmel.) Fisch. (Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop. subsp. incanum (S.G.Gmel.) Petrak ex Iljin), and Cirsium setosum (Willd.) Bess. (Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop. var. setosum (Willd.) Iljin.). They were described earlier by some authors (Grossgeim, 1949; Maevskii, 1954; etc.) as subspecies. The species maps of Hulten & Fries (1986) and Volkov (1935) were used as a model. They were supplemented with data of Kharkevitch (1992) and Tolmachev (1977). Specifications were made according to references from the list below, materials of the Herbarium of weed plants in VIR, and Database .Information search system on flora and fauna in reservations of Russia.. Cirsium setosum is widely distributed in forests and in steppes, especially in southern taiga and forest-steppes. The species is distributed in the entire territory of the former USSR, i.e., the European part, the Caucasus, the south of Siberia, the south of the Far East. It is sporadically distributed in Central Asia, in Sakhalin, Kamchatka, and in Murmansk Region. Northern border of the area was allocated according to data of Volkov (1935). The southern border of the area was allocated according to data of Hulten & Fries (1986). Cirsium setosum is one of the main harmful weeds in the territory of the former USSR (Maltsev, 1937; Nikitin, 1983; Ulyanova, 1998). It litters all crops but is more abundant in winter grain and in perennial grasses. Its weediness is especially great on arable lands in southern taiga and forest-steppes.
