Object description Download GIS-layers

Authors:

Specialist-biologist R.S. Ushakova & O.E. Kravchenko, GIS-specialist I.A. Budrevskaya.

Date of creation:

15.06.2004.

Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of map:

Map was created based on materials of maps of natural scale 1:8 000 000-1:55 000 000 and on literature data.

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.

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 of the Typha latifolia distribution area from Hulten & Fries (1986) was used as a model. It was supplemented with data from the following sources: Kharkevich (1992), Krasnoborov (1997), Tolmachev (1977), Malyshev & Peshkova (1979). The area was also adjusted according to the references from the list below and also from materials of the VIR Herbarium, and the database of the N.I. Vavilov Institute (1992).The zone of weediness was outlined according to Nikitin (1983), and was adjusted according to data on abundance, occurrence and harmfulness of the weed based on the below mentioned references (except the Keys and Floras). 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.
