Erratum to: Appl Geomat (2017) 9:27–41 DOI 10.1007/s12518-016-0177-4 The original version of this article unfortunately contained mistakes. The Listeria monocytogenes study used as input for modeling in this article was obtained from Cornell University. We did not provide acknowledgment of the source and we neglected to cite a previous paper that describes some analysis of these data. We apologize for this oversight and publish the following correction to our Materials and Methods, Acknowledgments, and References section.
Materials and methods (page 3; first paragraph) The initial survey for Listeria monocytogenes and other Listeria spp. was conducted as described in Chapin et al. (2014). We replicated the random forest analysis of environmental distribution by independently obtaining and processing spatial and meteorological GIS predictor data (Table 2). The results obtained in this article using the mean decrease in Gini index criterion were comparable to those in Fig. 2A of Chapin et al. (2014). We used the replicated random
