Scale:

1:20,000,000.

Accuracy of map:

Map was created using map of gardens of the USSR with the scale 1: 20,000,000

Projection:

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

Basic contents:

Vector file consisting of polygons and points. Points represent recorded locations of the species; polygons represent area of possible distribution of the species. In this specific map areas of continuous distribution of cherry and industrial cultivation are represented by polygons. Territories with insignificant cultivation are represented by points.

Accuracy of classifier:

Polygons are based on literature sources, political boundaries and ecological description. Point data were obtained from literature sources and herbarium specimens.

Method of map production:

Historic agricultural statistics were reviewed at the level of agricultural region. The Former Soviet Union had 16 regions. The boundaries from the 1:4 000 000 map of arable lands were used to further refine crop distribution (Koroljeva et al., 2003). The map area was determined according to the following sources: Tulupnikov (1960), Tochenov et al. (1984), State Lists (1994, 2004), Teterev (1949), Bahteev (1970), Sokolova (1954), Zhukovsky (1971), Voronchihina (1975), Vitkovsky (2003). Industrial cultivation of cherry is situated in the south of Ukraine, North Caucasus, Moldovia, Transcaucasia. Cherry is cultivated in private gardens in almost all regions of the European part of Russia until Vologda. Separate trees can be found in Kurgan, Omsk, Novosibirsk, Sakhalin regions (Kolesnikov, 1959). Locations of this species that are situated far from the main area were marked by points.
