This volume presents twenty contributions of international experts in science and administration on : - Expectations and anticipations of effects of genetically modified organisms (GMO) ; - Novel aspects in environmental risk evaluation ; - Legal aspects and monitoring ; - Concepts of risk and perception in the society. While the industry attempts to turn the emerging properties of transgenic organisms into marketable products, the general public in Europe remains intransigently sceptical to accept genetically modified organisms as food or food ingredients.In the heated public debate on GMO scientific arguments are likely to be used instrumentally from various sides - either to advertise or to demonise. Despite the intensity of the controversies, an important basis of decision, a central reference point of judgement remains widely obscured : What measure can be used to decide whether an environmental change, brought about by a certain type of genetically modified organism, is harmful or not ? It was this deficit that encouraged the Specialist Group on Gene Ecology of the Ecological Society of Germany, Austria and Switzerland to invite experts in order to critically evaluate experiences with the use of genetically modified organisms in agriculture as well as to present the state of scientific knowledge to operationalise the concepts of risk, hazard and damage.

Model development is of vital importance for understanding and management of ecological processes. Identifying the complex relationships between ecological patterns and processes is a crucial task. Ecological modelling—both qualitatively and quantitatively—plays a vital role in analysing ecological phenomena and for ecological theory. This textbook provides a unique overview of modelling approaches. Representing the state-of-the-art in modern ecology, it shows how to construct and work with various different model types. It introduces the background of each approach and its application in ecology. Differential equations, matrix approaches, individual-based models and many other relevant modelling techniques are explained and demonstrated with their use. The authors provide links to software tools and course materials. With chapters written by leading specialists, “Modelling Complex Ecological Dynamics” is an essential contribution to expand the qualification of students, teachers and scientists alike.

Das Buch gibt einen Einblick in systemische Verknüpfungen, denen der Anbau von gentechnisch veränderten Pflanzen in Deutschland unterliegen würde. Es thematisiert Verknüpfungen, die sich zwischen ökologischen und sozialen Systemzusammenhängen herstellen lassen. Bisherige Betrachtungen widmeten sich dem Thema entweder aus ökologischer Perspektive oder thematisieren (agrar-)politische Zusammenhänge. Das Buch resultiert aus einem Forschungsprojekt, in welchem das BMBF die Erforschung sozialökologischer Wechselwirkungen gefördert hat.

Seit 2004 werden in der Europäischen Gemeinschaft Import, Anbau und Verarbeitung von gentechnisch veränderten Kulturpflanzen wieder genehmigt. Verbindliche Auflage ist jedoch, mögliche schädigende Wirkungen der GVO auf die Umwelt zu beobachten. Dafür gibt die EU den rechtlichen Rahmen vor, die Ausgestaltung dieses Monitorings ist jedoch nicht abschließend geregelt.Verschiedene Empfehlungen sind derzeit in der Diskussion, wie Gefahren für die Schutzgüter Gesundheit und Umwelt am besten erkannt werden können. Zu den diskutierten Konzepten gehören nicht nur repräsentative Methoden der Umweltbeobachtung, sondern auch geeignete Verfahren, wie die Monitoringdaten zusammenhängend auszuwerten und zu beurteilen sind.Daran arbeiten für den Bund ebenso wie für die Europäische Gemeinschaft und die Bundesländer zahlreiche WissenschaftlerInnen. Ziel ist die Entwicklung geeigneter Indikatoren und standardisierter Methoden, um die Einflüsse auf die Schutzgüter zu erfassen. Das Bundesamt für Naturschutz ist intensiv an diesem Prozess beteiligt.Der vorliegende Band präsentiert bestehende Konzepte und Entwicklungen auf dem Gebiet des Monitorings gentechnisch veränderter Organismen aus dem deutschspra-chigen Raum (Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz): – Erfüllen die Konzepte die Anforderungen des Naturschutzes? – Sind sie tragfähig für die Regelungspraxis von EU, Bund und Ländern? – Bieten Datenerhebung und -verarbeitung ausreichende Qualität? – Können Synergien mit etablierten Maßnahmen genutzt werden? – Wie werden die Ergebnisse bewertet? – Bestehen noch konzeptionelle Fehlstellen beim Monitoring von GVO-Wirkungen?
