L G Firbank et al. Science. .

Abstract

The debate about genetically modified crops that are resistant to herbicides and their effects on the environment rages on. In their Perspective, Firbank and Forcella discuss a new model (Watkinson et al.) that seeks to calculate the impact of genetically modified herbicide-resistant sugar beet on growth of the weed Chenopodium album and on the skylark, which feeds on the seeds of this weed.
