enabling a more intentional pathway for expansion. Infrastructure development and land use changes are major threats to ecosystem protection (Dinerstein et al. 2019). These provide helpful data to address the time-specific big-picture goals to conserve 30% of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed by 2030...
This chapter provides an overview of studies concerning the application of bacteria and their genetically modified derivatives, with the emphasis on their fate and effects on the ecosystem. We limited this chapter to genetically modified microorganisms (GMMs) for agricultural applications, as biosensors,...
