This volume focuses on GIS applications in the fight against invasive species, including weeds, insects, disease, and microbes. It offers practical applications for mapping and managing invasives and presents research on GIS applications in monitoring, tracking, modeling, forecasting, and managing, as well as assessing for economic and environme
