Series Preface
GIS Applications in Agriculture: Invasive Species edited by Sharon A. Clay is the
third volume in the book series GIS Applications in Agriculture. The first volume,
GIS Applications in Agriculture, edited by Francis J. Pierce and David E. Clay
was published by CRC Press in 2007. The second volume, GIS Applications in
Agriculture: Nutrient Management for Energy Efficiency, edited by David E. Clay
and John F. Shanahan will be published by CRC Press in 2011. These books each
provide concepts and detailed examples of important aspects of agriculture that lend
themselves to geospatial analysis and mapping provided by geographic information
systems (GIS). The genesis of a book of applications of GIS in agriculture came from
my good friend Max Crandall who recognized that few examples from agriculture
were available for use in teaching or demonstrating GIS to the agricultural commu-
nity. Max recruited Pierre C. Robert, Harold Reitz Jr., Matthew Yen, and myself to
help formulate such a book, but the untimely death of Pierre diminished the effort.
Through the help of John Sulzycki, CRC Press agreed to publish the first book in
this series and later to commit to a book series, GIS Applications in Agriculture, for
which I am the series editor.
GIS Applications in Agriculture: Invasive Species presents 17 chapters address-
ing various aspects of invasive species, including viruses, diseases, insects, animal
pests, and weeds. Like the first two volumes, detailed applications are provided in
many chapters with data sets and color figures on a separate CD for readers to use in
teaching and learning GIS or in directly applying them to situations they encounter
in agriculture. I am grateful to Sharon Clay for agreeing to develop this volume and
for her hard work in organizing and editing it, and to the chapter authors for their
excellent contributions to what I believe are interesting and useful applications of
GIS in agriculture. I would also like to thank Randy Brehm, the CRC Press editor for
this volume, and all those at CRC Press who made this volume possible.
As the series editor, it is my responsibility to seek new book ideas and capable
editors to create additional volumes in this series on topics of importance to agri-
culture that provide relevant applications of GIS in agriculture. I invite those who
have ideas for new volumes in the GIS Applications in Agriculture series to contact
myself or CRC Press to discuss publishing opportunities.
