Object description Download GIS-layers

Authors:

Specialist-biologist O.E. Kravchenko & R.S. Ushakova,
GIS-specialist I.A. Budrevskaya

Date of creation:

29.12.2003.

Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of map:

Map was created based on materials of map of natural scale 1:15 000 000 and on literature data.

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 is shown by polygons, and sporadic distribution by points. Zones of weediness are shown by polygons.

Accuracy of classifier:

The weed area is subdivided into two zones, one representing species distribution, and the second where weed is considered a serious pest. Points represent locations where sporadic occurrence has been reported.

Method of map production:

Published literature was reviewed, including Atlases, monographs and papers. Occurrence data were obtained from herbarium specimens, floras, monographs and papers. The following sources were used to determine the area of distribution and harmfulness: Nikitin (1983), Shishkin & Bobrov (1949) and the materials of the VIR herbarium (N.I. Vavilov Institute). Other sources, as referenced below, were also used to make adjustments to the area. The northern border is located within the steppe zone. H. trionum is an adventive plant in the Far East and is now distributed on arable lands in the southern part of the Far East (Kharkevich, 1987). The area of harmfulness of this species was determined according to literature sources and also adjusted according to the map of arable lands (Koroljeva et al., 2003). Data were then compiled through scanning and geo-referencing to develop a composite vector map. The biologist, together with the GIS specialist, drew a composite weed distribution area based on compiled data.
