Date of creation:

Scale:

1:20.000.000

Accuracy of map:

Map was created based on materials of map of natural scale 1: 33 000 000.

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 and zones of disease severity are shown by polygons.

Accuracy of classifier:

Distribution was determined according to regions where the Brown Spot is registered on apple according to published scientific materials. Within the limits of the disease area three zones of severity were allocated. The disease occurs at least 1 time in 2 years or almost annually in the zone of high severity, 1 time in 3 years in the zone of moderate development, and 1 time in 5 years in the zone of low severity.

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. Distribution of the disease is shown on the map within the limits of fruit-growing in the countries of the former USSR and coincides with the area of fruit cultures. High development of the Brown Spot of Apple is observed in the Krasnodar and Stavropol erritories, in the Black Sea zone, Kabardino-Balkaria, Chechnya, Ingushetia, Alania (Smolyakova, 2000). Moderate development of the disease occrs in Byelorussia and some areas of Moldova according to the following sources: Kuntsevich (1976), Sevryukova (1980). The zone of low disease severity includes the northern zone of Moldova and the Far East according to the following sources: Ablakatova (1965), Koropatyuk (1974).
