Data of creation:

16.01.2004.

Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of the map:

Created using maps of natural scale 1:10 000 000-1:80 000 000 and on data from the literature.

Projection:

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

Basic contents:

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

Accuracy of the classifier:

Areas of distribution and weediness zones of Portulaca oleracea were established according to an analysis of open-published maps and literature. Distribution of Portulaca oleraceae was determined according to: Volkov, (1983) and Hulten & Fries, (1986). The northwest part of the area of distribution (area of Ukraine) was determined according to: Hulten & Fries, (1986) and Volkov, (1983). In Central Asia the Volkov mountain areas were removed from maps and the Central Asia territory was extended to the north and to the east according to the map of the Arable Lands (Koroljeva et al., 2003). The area of distribution in the Far East is based on Voroshilov (1966) and the Map of Arable lands . Point data represent sporadic distribution based on herbarium material obtained from VIR and the V.L. Komorov Institute of Botany. The following references were also used: Grigorevskaja, (2000); Maevskij, (1954); Popchenkov, (1993); and Dorogkin, (1949). The zone of weediness was determined according to the following sources: Burygin et al., (1975); Sabirov, (1975); Gajdashkin, (1936); Galimova, (1975); Dokuchaev, (1973); Ilina, (1935); Catalogue of the VIR World collection, (1989); Arkhangelsk, (1953) and Suhin et al., (1983).

Method of map production:

Published literature was reviewed, including Atlases, monographs and papers. Occurrence data were obtained from herbarium specimens, floras, monographs and papers. 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.
