Degradation of glyphosate in northern ecosystems
It is widely believed that glyphosate degrades in 2 weeks,
and has low accumulation and drift in nature [4,16]. However,
this conventional view may be premature, or only
applicable to certain environments, because most literature
on the biological impacts of glyphosate is based either
on laboratory bioassays or short-term field studies, conducted
primarily in agro-environments and limited climatic
conditions, mainly in Central Europe and the USA. For
example, studies on herbicide residues in boreal environments
have demonstrated that glyphosate and the main
