Despite growing concern about the potential adverse effects of elevated cobalt
concentrations in the environment, hardly any toxicity data are available for terrestrial …

Increasing concentrations of metals in soil have posed a serious threat to the soil
environment. The control and evaluation of soil metal hazards demand the establishment of …

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 …

To improve our understanding of metal bioavailability to soil‐living invertebrates, the effect of
porewater composition on the toxicodynamics of copper and cadmium in Folsomia candida …

The toxicity of Pb and Cd+ Pb was assessed on the Collembola F. candida in two cultivated
soils (SV and AU) with low organic matter (OM) content and circumneutral to basic pH, and …

The influence of outdoor exposure conditions and ageing of contamination on the toxicity of
zinc was investigated for the springtail Folsomia candida to evaluate the validity of a …

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

To evaluate the influence of soil characteristics and chemical application form on the
ecotoxicity of zinc, the toxicity of contaminated soil samples from the vicinity of a zinc smelter …

Soil properties are a major influence on the bioavailability and toxicity of metals and
represent one of the important factors that complicate the extrapolation of results from …
