Date of creation:
26.10.2003.Scale:
1:20 000 000.Accuracy of map:
Map was created based on information taken from 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 map of Hulten & Fries (1986) was used as a base map. The following sources were used to make adjustments to various borders of the base map: In the Murmansk region (Volkov, 1935) the border is advanced northward; In the Northeast part it is expanded (Tolmachev, 1977); The southern border according to the Arable Lands Map (Koroljeva et al., 2003); In the Far East (Harkevich 1992; Dymina 1971; Ul.yanova 1980) the zone is also adjusted according to the Arable Lands Map. Points of sporadic distribution were determined according to the following sources: Tolmachev (1977), Harkevich (1992), VIR Herbarium (N.I. Vavilov), Hulten & Fries (1986). The zone of weediness was determined according to the following sources: Zhuravlev (1949), Zuza (1988), Kazakevich (1951), Kozlovskaya & Simonovich (1966), Kuminova (1958), Nikitin (1983), Polozhii (1957), Sklyadnev et al. (1960), Tihonova (1937), Yanchurina (1976). 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:
