1:20 000 000.Accuracy of map:
Map was created based on information taken from the published literature and maps of scale 1:10 000 000.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 area defined includes the zone representing species distribution, and a second zone where the weed is considered a serious pest. Points represent locations where sporadic occurrence has been reported. The zone of weediness is determined according to literature, where the weed is reported as widespread, lowering yield of crops by 40-80% (Dyatlenko et al., 1987) and having a projective covering on a field of 28-30% (Bagmet et al., 2003). The area is coordinated with the Map of Arable Lands (Koroljeva et al., 2003).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 Komarov (1934) was used for base distribution. The following sources were used to make regional adjustments: in the European area (Veselovs.kii et al., 1988; Geidmann & Nikolaeva, 1954; Grigor'evskaya, 2000; Grossgeim, 1949; Dyatlenko, 1987; Prokudin, 1987; Ul.yanova, 1998; Yangurkina 1976); in the Far East (Ul.yanova, 1998; Korovina, 1983; Kharkevich, 1992); and the Caucasus (Galushko, 1980). The final area of distribution does not overstep the bounds of the area based on references and/or the border of Arable Lands Map (Koroljeva et al., 2003). Points of sporadic distribution were determined according to herbarium data (N.I. Vavilov Institute, V.L. Komarov Institute) and the following sources: Komarov (1959), Tsvelev (1994), Galushko (1980), Kharkevich (1992). 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:
