Addressing concerns that genetically engineered crops and other organisms might pose some danger to the environment, sets out mathematical models of the growth and interactions of roots and microorganisms in the soil. Then discusses how the models can be tested, focusing on sampling techniques and experimental design. Finally, examines risk assessment, especially being able to distinguish between perceived and real risks. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
