Abstract

The emphasis of this chapter is on the practical procedures and theoretical framework which are currently applied or have been suggested for ecological risk assessment of transgenic plants. In this context, reference will be made to the general concepts and principles for risk assessment which have been established for other fields of environmental problems. This means that the experience from handling risk from toxic compounds in nature (ecotoxicology), simulation of processes (modelling) and management of populations and genetic resources (conservation ecology) will be included. Also, the experience from introduced species and monitoring invasion and gene-flow will be discussed.
