Scale:

1:20,000,000.

Exactness of map:

Map was created using maps to the scale of 1:25,000,000-1:40,000,000.

The projection:

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

Basic contents:

Map is a vector file consisting of polygons.

Exactness of classifier:

Polygons are based on published sources, political boundaries and ecological descriptions.

Method of map construction:

The cultivated area of Poa pratensis was mapped using agroclimatic, natural and economical principles of the former USSR countries. The vast resources published by the state press was analyzed. The final map was constructed by generalizing regional maps, the arable land map (dark blue polygon), and a map of lands approved for cultivation, excluding non-arable lands (light blue polygon). Only those lands where Poa pratensis is used in crop rotation were taken into account.
