Abstract
Many transgenic plant gene products introduced into soil are likely to degrade so quickly that they will have little impact upon the ecosystem. Some products, however, will be more recalcitrant and thus may exhibit potentially adverse effects upon the soil ecosystem. Potential changes in specific groups of organisms, functional groups of organisms and biodiversity are discussed. Methods to detect changes and the impact of changes are considered.Keywords
