Authors:

Object specialist O.S. Afanasenko, GIS-specialist M.I. Saulich.

Date of creation:

15.03.2004.

Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of map:

Map was created based on materials of maps of natural scale 1:33 000.000.

Projection:

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

Basic contents:

Vector map. Area of species distribution and zones of disease severity are shown by polygons.

Accuracy of classifier:

Area is subdivided into zones of low and moderate severity. U. nigra is most important in the Central Region of the Chernozem Region, in the North-East of the Non-Chernozem Region, South Ural, Povolzhie (Volga Region), West Siberia and also in North Kazakhstan. The zone of moderate harm was determined according to the literature and is found to be with the frequency of disease occurrence more than 20% in relation to the Loose smut. Local epiphytotic can take place in any agroclimatic zone at infringement of agrotechnical norms (crop by the non treatment seeds). That is why it is impossible to designate a zone of high epiphytotic frequencies.

Method of map production:

Scientists were given maps with boundaries of Oblasts and arable lands. After reviewing historic literature, species distribution was hand drawn on maps. If data were on the Oblast-level, distribution is on the Oblast level. In some cases, Oblast.s are further refined by boundaries of the Arable Land Map (Koroljeva et al., 2003). Hand drawn maps were scanned, georeferenced and vectorized. The publications of Ishkova et al. (2000) and Mathre (1997) were used for the general information on the life-cycle of the pathogen and host plants. The zones of disease severity were determined according to the following sources: Andreev (1977), Ishkova et al. (2000), Kozhevnikova (1970), Stepanovskikh (1970), Tyunin & Kushnirenko (1981), Tulina & Maltseva (1976).
