In making a safety assessment of LEAR oil it is evident that initial concerns with the safety of rapeseed oil were based on studies conducted in the rat. It has been established that these concerns were unfounded since the rat is not a suitable model for safety assessment studies of vegetable oils. Studies in humans and other species, and from the knowledge of the substances, make It apparent thaMEAR oil, as normally consumed, is like other vegetable oils, a safe substance for human consumption.

The aims of phytosociology are more linked with a description and typing of a supposed natural set of plants than with a study of vegetation in its complete reality. Without an integration, the use of phytosociology in landscape ecology could be in many cases too limited or impossible (Ingegnoli 1997, 2002).

Food - broadly defined - is another area in which the ability to study wet systems has proved very useful. A recent review by James covers work in the field. Food here covers both vegetables (which could also be included in the cellulose section above) and starch-based materials, but also systems containing proteins and fats, although the last two categories have been much less extensively studied than the former. The study of vegetables in the ESEM goes back to Uwins in 1993, who compared different sample preparation routes for potatoes, including the minimal preparation required for ESEM. In situ deformation of carrots... 

Several studies, based on models, examined the effects of land-use change on the global carbon cycle and conclude that there is a net release of carbon due to land clearing. However, the results and conclusions of these studies are based on assumed sizes of vegetation carbon pools which are inputs to the models. For example, Melillo et al. 24) concluded that boreal and temperate deciduous forests of the northern hemisphere are net sources of atmospheric carbon. Their analysis used values for carbon density derived by Whittaker and Likens 19) from work by Rodin and Bazilevich (27). Rodin and Bazilevich extrapolated results of small, unrelated studies in Europe and the USSR to estimate total biomass of Eurasian boreal and temperate deciduous forests. Their estimates have since been extrapolated to forests worldwide and are used often today. 

This sensitivity to vegetation also appears in the data from our study of modem plants and animals. More than a thousand samples spanning a wide range of species of both plants and animals were selected from a five-county area in northeastern Wisconsin. While herbivores have significantly lower...

Studies of carrot and tomato crops sprayed with endosulfan 2 to 8 days prior to harvest showed that more pesticide remains in the pulp than in the juices of these vegetables. Washing and peeling the vegetables lowered the endosulfan concentration considerably (Burchat et al. 1998).
