Authors:

Object specialist - S.Yu. Larina, GIS-specialist - I.A. Budrevskaya.

Data of creation:

03.03.2004.

Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of map:

Map was created based on materials of maps of natural scale 1:5 000 000 - 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 the weed is considered a serious pest. Points represent locations where sporadic occurrence have been reported. The zone of harmfulness were established according to criteria of occurrence (% of fields where this species is found) and abundance (expressed as the projective cover of this species by % of field area) and was determined to be where the occurrence of this species exceeded 20% and abundance was more than 15% (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. 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. The area of distribution was determined according to the maps of Hulten & Fries (1986) and adjusted at the borders according to the following sources: The area is extended to Eastern Siberia (Malyshev & Peshkova, 1994) and to the Far East (Korovina, 1983). The map of Volkov (1935) was also used as a reference. The areas of harmfulness were determined according to Nikitin (1983) and adjusted according to the limits of the Arable Land Map (Koroljeva et al., 2003). In addition to the data of Hulten & Fries (1986), the sites of sporadic distribution were determined according to the following sources: in the Far East by Kharkevich (1988); in the northern regions of the European part of Russia/Siberia by Dorogostaiskaya (1972), Tolmachev (1976) and Malyshev & Peshkova (1994). The sites of sporadic distribution in the Caucasas (Grossgeim, 1950) were included in the main distribution area.
