Managing Debris Flow Risks

Assessing and managing biological risks of plants used for bioremediation, including risks of transgene flow.

The plants used for phytoremediation pose special biological risks, whether transgenic or not, as most of the species: (a) are semi-domesticated; (b) are introduced from other habitats; (c) can become established in the contaminated site; (d) can spread and displace native species, and/or; (e) may introgress transgenes into related species.
