N2  - Aims The potential adverse effects of transgenic plants on soil processes get less attention than their other environmental risks. Also, there has been virtually no relevant research in transgenic plants with improved nutrient use efficiency. Methods We investigated the effect of transgenic birch (Betula pubescens)plants expressing the glutamine synthetase GS1 gene from pine or the marker gus gene on soil properties in a long-term pot experiment under greenhouse and natural conditions. Activity of 11 enzymes and microbial biomass (MBC, MBN, MBP), which are indicators of soil quality, were analyzed at the end of each growing season after leaf fall, and physicochemical soil properties at the end of the experiment
