Projection:

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

Basic contents:

Vector map. Main distribution area is shown by polygon, while sporadic distribution is shown by points. Zone of weediness is shown by polygon.

Accuracy of classifier:

Within the weed distribution area, the zones of main and sporadic distribution and the zone of weediness are shown. The zone of weediness is where G.bifida is a pernicious weed.

Mapping Procedure:

Areas of main and sporadic distribution and weediness were established following an analysis of published maps and literature. The distribution area of G.bifida is based on the map taken from Hulten & Fries (1986). The boundaries of the zone of weediness were established using Nikitin (1983) and Ulyanova (1998) and were further specified in accordance with data on abundance and frequency of species occurrence, which were taken from the below-mentioned references and adjusted in accordance with the boundaries of arable lands. According to Nikitin (1983), G.bifida occurs fairly often, sometimes abundantly, in the forest zone of the European part of the former USSR, as well as in Western and Eastern Siberia. Ulyanova has included G.bifida on the list of main weeds of crops in the European part of the former USSR and Western and Eastern Siberia (1998). According to Ulyanova et al. (1992), G.bifida is a pernicious weed in the Novgorod and Vologda Regions, where it is characterized by 75-100% occurrence frequency and 3-5 points of abundance. Buch et al. (1981) have pointed out that G.bifida is widespread everywhere in the Primoskii Territory, often abundantly, and is especially pernicious in tilled crops.
