Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of map:

It is created on information taken from the open-published literature and on maps of natural scale 1:24 000 000 - 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. Area of distribution is shown by polygon (main distribution) and by dots (sporadic distribution).

Accuracy of the classifier:

Area of the species is divided into the main distribution, weediness, and sporadic distribution areas. Zone of weediness is allocated by criteria of occurrence (% of fields where this species is found) and abundance (Tanskii et al., 1998), i.e., where the occurrence of this species exceeded 50% with its field abundance (projective cover) being more than 15%.

Procedure of map drawing:

Area and zone of weediness are outlined on the blank map by results of the analysis of references and cartographic materials published in the open literature. The S. orientalis area map is compiled on the basis of the weed distribution map (Kharkevich, 1992), reference data on the species distribution in floristic regions (Komarov, 1959; Galushko, 1980; Koryagin, 1961; Pavlov, 1966), compiled map of the weed distribution in administrative districts (green line) (Voroshilov, 1966; Il.ina, 1935; Nikitina, 1979; Tolmachev, 1966; Vvedenskii, 1965). In the Caucasus the area is allocated after Galushko (1980), being corrected along borders of arable lands, because there are data on occurrence of the weed in all regions of irrigated agriculture of the Caucasus (Vasil.chenko & Pidotti, 1975); in Middle Asia the area is allocated along borders of arable lands according with reference data, i.e., in Uzbekistan (Vvedenskii, 1962), Kazakhstan (Pavlov, 1966), Kirghizia (Vvedenskii, 1965; Nikitina, 1979), Syr Darya, Zeravshan, and southern Tajik districts (Vasil.chenko & Pidotti, 1975), and with Herbarium of the Moscow State University; in the Far East the area is allocated according with map of the weed compiled after literature data (green line), Kharkevich (1992), Herbaria of the All-Russian Institute of Plant Industry and Moscow State University, and map of arable lands. Sporadic distribution of the species is given after Dobrochaev et al. (1987), Zernov (2002), Vul.f (1969), Herbaria of the All-Russian Institute of Plant Industry and Moscow State University. The zone of weediness is not allocated, as the criteria mentioned in literature do not correspond to those mentioned above in Accuracy of the classifier; e.g., the plant is not a weed, but being presented in crops (Il.ina, 1935); it is a ruderal plant being rarely met in crops (Nikitin, 1983).
