Authors:

Object specialist I.N. Nadtochii, GIS-specialist I.A. Budrevskaya.

Date of creation:

23.08.2004

Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of map:

Map was created based on information taken from open-published literature and on map of natural scale 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. The zones of weediness were established according to criteria of occurence (50% of fields where this species is found) and abundance, expressed as projective cover of this species in the field (more than 15% of the field area (Tanskii et al., 1998)).

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 from Hulten & Fries (1986) was used as a base map, since Volkov's map made in 1935 is rather generalized. The original area from Hulten & Fries (1986) was expanded northeastward according to the following sources: Tolmachev (1976), Gorodkov (1966), Dorogostaiskaya (1972), Tolmachev (1962), Ramenskaya (1960), Shmidt & Sergienko (1987), Vargina et al. (1987); and southwestward according to Volkov (1935), Vasil.ev (1929), Kolpikova (1967). Places of sporadic distribution in Siberia and the Far East were determined according to the following sources: V.L. Komarov Institute, Kharkevich (1992), Gorodkov (1966), Dorogostaiskaya (1972), Kushnirenko (1949), Ul.yanova (1980), Krasnoborov (1984). The following sources were used to determined the zones of weediness: for the areas where weed was frequently found in fields of the North-Western zone and Central part of the Non-Chernozem zone according to Zakharenko & Zakharenko (2004); as a background weed (in number and occurrence) in the Non-Chernozem zone according to Spiridonov (2004); as the most pernicious weed in the Non-Chernozem zone according to Raskin (1997); as one of the main weeds in Stavropol Territory according to Kolpikova (1967); as having 50% weediness in Crimea according to Vasil.ev (1929); as a weed of tea plantations in Trans-Carpathia according to Bubryak (1957). The map of arable lands was also used for the determination of the weediness zone (Koroljeva et al., 2003).
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.
