Date of creation:

Scale:

1:20,000,000.

Accuracy of map:

Map was created using information from state publications and maps of natural scale 1:80,000,000-1:5,000,000.

Projection:

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

Basic contents:

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

Accuracy of classifier:

Distribution area of the species is divided into zones of main distribution, weediness, and sporadic distribution. Zone of weediness was allocated according to criteria of occurrence (% of fields where this species is found) and abundance (expressed as projective cover of this species in the field) (Tanskii et al., 1998), i.e., where the occurrence of this species exceeds 50% with an abundance (projective cover) of more than 15%.

Mapping procedure:

Distribution area and zone of weediness were mapped following an analysis of references and public cartographic materials. The map by Hulten & Fries (1986) was used as a prototype; the southern border was corrected along zones of deserts and semi-deserts. In Central Asia, the distribution area was allocated on arable lands, as published literature contains records of the Narrow-leaved Plantain in fields in Turkmenistan (Nikitin, 1957), Uzbekistan (Khalilova, 1975), Tajikistan (Vasil.chenko, 1955), and Kyrgyzstan (Sukhin et al., 1983). Places of sporadic distribution were allocated according to Hulten & Fries (1986), Poyarkova (1966), and Tolmachev (1977). The zone of weediness was mapped using published data and the map of arable lands. Further research revealed that the weed is the most widespread weed in Ukraine (Mel.nichuk & Kovalivs.ka, 1972); a weed of grain crops in the Brest and Gomel Regions (Kozlovskaya & Simonovich, 1966); a weed causing harm to perennial grasses in the Mogilev Region (Protasov, 1974); a weed with an abundance of 3-4 points in clover crops and mixed grasses in the western areas of the Non-Chernozem Zone (Shlyakova, 1982); a field weed in perennial grasses in the Smolensk, Kaluga, and Bryansk Regions (Korovina, 1982); the main weed in the Stavropol Territory (Dokuchaev et al., 1973); a weed in areas of irrigated agriculture in European Russia, the Caucasus, and Central Asia (Vasil.chenko, 1975); a weed in wheat crops in Central Asia and the Caucasus (Korovina, 1981); a weed with an abundance of 2-3 points in Azerbaijan (Doronina, 1978) and the Tashkent Region of Uzbekistan (Khalilova, 1975); a frequent weed in lucerne crops in Turkmenistan (Mal.kov, 1936; Nikitin & Gel.dikhanov, 1988); and a weed with an abundance of 3 points in Kara-Kalpakstan (Sukhin et al., 1983).
