Abstract

Medicinal plants are an important natural resource of the country, used for medicine and healthcare needs. Cartographic study of the natural resource potential of medicinal plants remains an actual proposal for contemporary ecological geographical and resource researches. The paper concerns the state of medicinal plants mapping in our country, specifics of cartographical display and description. More than 30 scientific reference, popular science complex and special federal and regional atlases including maps of medicinal plants have been published during 1964–2014 period in Russia. Medicinal plants distribution is most fully displayed in the “Atlas of natural ranges and resources of medicinal plants of the USSR”. The Atlas contains about 180 maps of ranges for 234 plants species. Contemporary atlases are represented by the National Atlas of Arctic [2017] and the Medical-Geographical atlas of Russia “Healing springs and plants” [2019] created by scientists of the Lomonosov Moscow State University (the Faculty of Geography). The last atlas contains ranges of officinal plants, permitted by the RF Ministry of Healthcare for usage by scientific medicine. This atlas contains 37 maps of 72 plants’ species (1 : 30 000 000) at the background of the Map of Zones and Altitudinal Types of Vegetation of Russia. This atlas is the first popular science publication containing comprehensive information about state and distribution of officinal plants species, about problems of their use and protection accompanied by physiographic, climatic, biogeographical, medical-geographical maps.

Summary

Introduction

Карты и ГИС в исследованиях общественного здоровья региональных исследований лекарственных растений, применяемых в научной и народной медицине, могут служить работы по Аляске [Viereck, 1995], атлас-определитель лекарственных растений Китая [А Colored..., 2010], работы о проблемах сохранения лекарственных растений [Akerele et al, 1991] и мн. др., содержащие в какой-то степени сведения о географии этих видов. Карта «Лекарственные растения» м-ба 1: 4 000 000 в Атласе Забайкалья [1967] отражает распространение 22 видов лекарственных растений в границах пяти типов ландшафтов региона. «Атлас лесов СССР» [1973] содержит 2 карты м-ба 1: 25 000 000, на которых даны ареалы 15 видов лекарственных растений в сопровождении кратких пояснений, отражающих ботаническую характеристику видов и природных
