Basic contents:

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

Accuracy of classifier:

Distribution is represented by regions where the scab is registered on apple according to published scientific materials. Within the limits of the disease area four zones of severity were determined. In the zone of high disease severity epiphytotics occur one time in 2 years as a minimum. In the zone of moderate diseases severity they occur one 1 time in 3 years. In the zone of low disease severity they occur 1 time in 5 years, and in the zone of very low Apple Scab severity they occur 1 time in 8-10 years.

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. Based on the following sources the map demonstrates the disease distribution within the limits of the former USSR that is conterminous with the areas of apple and other fruit cultures: Ablakatova (1965), Fedorova (1971, 1977), Shumakova (1963), Tochenov (1984). The following sources were used to determine the above mentioned zones of disease severity: Fedorova (1971, 1977), Shumakova (1963).
