The study was endeavored to investigate the effects of soil properties on the acute and
chronic cadmium (Cd) toxicities to Folsomia candida (Collembola F. candida). Results of the …

The toxicity of cadmium for the Collembola Folsomia candida was studied by determining
the effects of increasing Cd concentrations on growth, survival and reproduction in three …

Toxicity of cadmium to Folsomia candida was determined in soils at different pHs (3.5, 5.0,
and 6.5). The Langmuir sorption constant (KL), based on pore‐water or water‐extractable …

Effects of cadmium on survival, growth and reproduction of the collembolan Folsomia
candida was determined in four soils differing in organic matter (3.0–10.9%) and clay …

The use of toxicity tests in which each chemical is tested separately is inadequate for
assessing the potential risk of complex mixtures of chemicals for soil ecosystems. In the …

The present study sought to quantify the components of a biotic ligand model (BLM) for the
effects of Cd on Folsomia candida (Collembola). Assuming that soil porewater is the main …

The validity of the pore-water hypothesis was studied by determining the bioavailability and
toxicity of cadmium to the collembolan species Folsomia candida, in artificial soils with …

To understand the consequences of soil pollution on higher levels of biological organization,
the chain of effects of cadmium on several interrelated responses was studied in a chronic …

Knowing whether test species used for single-species toxicity tests are representative of
other species provides valuable information because contaminant effects are often …

For Collembola living in the upper soil and litter layers, soil moisture is a primary factor for
survival. In addition, a shortage or surplus of moisture might interact with other stress factors …
